Kara L. Haas is an educator, researcher, and doctoral student in curriculum, instruction (CITE) and science education at MSU. She is the K-12 partnership coordinator for the KBS Long-Term Ecological Research program, an NSF-funded broader impacts program that brings K-12 teachers and scientists together to improve environmental literacy. She has a B.S. in biology from Hope College and a master’s in the practice of teaching: early childhood education from Western Michigan University.
Mark your calendars for the MSU AI Summit on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, in the STEM Teaching and Learning Facility. This event will bring together faculty, staff, librarians, and graduate students across disciplines to shape MSU’s role in AI education, research, and everyday use. Registration opens soon, and all members of the university community are welcome.
Please join us at CREATE's 10th Mini Conference on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. We will be at the MSU STEM building for the third year and are grateful to be able to utilize this wonderful space for our program.
It will be a different format this year (TBA), but we're planning on one poster session, a keynote from Dr. Noah Weeth Feinstein, a panel response to his talk, and as in the past, lunch will be provided.
The AI in Education Community of Practice (CoP) is a three-part discussion series exploring the evolving role of artificial intelligence in teaching, research, and higher education policy.
