How can we move students from passive reading to active exploration? Meet SceneCraft, an NSF-funded AI platform that lets educators build interactive 3D stories without coding. Unlike tools that automate grading, SceneCraft uses a "Teacher-in-the-Loop" design, putting you in control of the narrative architecture. In this hands-on session, you will learn to: Bridge the Gap: Turn static standards into immersive, inquiry-driven experiences. Design with Ease: Use a simple worksheet to generate 3D scenes and dialogue instantly. Empower Agency: Create choice-based stories where students navigate ethical dilemmas. Lead Ethical AI: Practice responsible AI use that prioritizes teacher agency. Workshop Highlights: Step-by-step design workflow and prompt formula. Real-world classroom examples across STEM and Humanities. Takeaway: Leave with a prompt formula and a roadmap for your next unit.
