AI in class, AI at work
• Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education
이 이벤트는 한국어로도 제공됩니다. 한국어로 읽기 →AI tools and vibe coding are changing how software gets built, fast. Teachers who teach computer science want to bring this into the classroom, but the classroom doesn’t always offer a close view of how AI is really used inside companies.
Dev Korea is a community of global tech professionals who use AI at work every day, with real constraints like security, review and quality. This event brings the two together: teacher-developers share what they are doing in class, and professionals share how AI is actually used at work.
Co-hosted with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (서울특별시교육청).
About the talks
01. AI in schools: How to teach, learn, and build with AI
AI is the imperative subject of our time, so both teachers and students must adapt. Students use it for homework, and teachers are working out what that means for learning. I build with AI every day, and we want to share what actually works.
We’ll show how professional developers use AI at work, and how to use AI to its fullest potential. Then we’ll look at vibe coding as a tool for teachers. You’ll see how to build your own classroom tools without a CS degree, and what it means for cybersecurity when people ship code they don’t fully understand. For students, we’ll cover how to use AI as a tool instead of an answer machine. We’ll also cover when to trust it, when to verify it, and when to ask a real person instead.
02. Minimizing failure with the world’s first Teacher-Developer Handbook
Drawing on our Teacher Developer Guide, we share how teachers can use generative AI to address real needs in teaching and school life. We explore the full process, from deciding whether a new tool is needed to designing, testing, sharing, and maintaining it. Student learning, privacy, and teachers’ professional judgment guide each step.
03. A failure story from an inclusive classroom teacher
Drawing on my experiences and challenges in teaching students with diverse learning needs in an inclusive classroom, I introduce UDL+, an AI-powered tool I developed as a teacher to make learning materials more accessible. Through real classroom examples, I demonstrate how existing instructional materials can be transformed to meet individual students’ needs, while sharing the technical and educational considerations that shaped the development process.
Whether you teach, build software, or simply want to see how AI is changing both classrooms and companies, come for the talks and a chance to connect with Seoul’s international tech community. Beginners are welcome.
