STEAM classroom ideas that actually work — from AI literacy to garden-based science. Nine expert educators share hands-on strategies you can use in your classroom this week.

This is Part 2 of the STEAM Super Series on Cool Cat Teacher Talk. In this episode, you'll learn:

- How Code.org's Hour of AI gives every teacher a free starting point for AI literacy — including unplugged activities with no computers needed - Why a student who never engaged in traditional math built a working scale model of a TI-84 calculator — and what that means for project-based learning - How Stephen Ritz grows 50,000 pounds of vegetables indoors with students in the South Bronx - How Fortnite Creative (with no guns) becomes a physics lab where gravity is 3x stronger than Earth's - How Desmos sliders give students instant visual feedback on math relationships
