As AI takes on more of the work students once did themselves, what learning experiences should we preserve?

While AI can automate routine tasks, it risks replacing the intellectual struggle that builds deep learning, critical thinking, and sound judgement. In this session, several faculty members will share how they are leveraging AI as a tool that enhances, not replaces, meaningful learning.

What you will learn:

• Retain what matters most - Identify high-impact learning activities worth preserving in an AI-enabled world.
• Building student competency - Design experiences that strengthen critical thinking, judgment, and real-world decision making.
• Foster ownership of learning - Empower students to take responsibility for their learning and develop confidence in their own abilities.

Lunch will be provided!

AI is becoming part of nearly every career, but its practical applications look different across industries. Join The Generator Student Lab for an interactive career fair where students can meet industry professionals and explore how AI is being used in everyday work.

At each table, an industry professional and Generator Student Lab representative will break down specific AI applications within a professional field. Students will learn:

• How professionals are incorporating AI into their workflows.
• Which AI skills are becoming important in different industries.
• How to discuss AI experience in interviews.
• How to use AI effectively during internships and early-career roles.

Leave with practical examples, new professional connections, and a clearer understanding of how to prepare for an AI-enabled workplace.

Vibe-coding is the talk of the town around college campuses. We will teach Babson students how to vibe-code the right way; educating about models, sills, and best practices. Students will learn to build and host a website.

We won't be alone, though. Gracie, Roger, and Hero (public safety dogs) will be joining us along with an array of brookies, hot chocolate, and more snacks. A cold November evening spent in the warm foundry filled with the smell of baked goods, hot chocolate, and coding!

How can we use AI without losing our voice?

The Mindful AI Playground invites participants from colleges and universities across the Greater Boston area and beyond, for a session of thoughtful reflection and shared inquiry. The program will feature a keynote, a student panel, and interactive activities focused on mindful AI use. Whether you are an early adopter, a careful skeptic, or simply curious, this gathering offers space to test ideas, exchange perspectives, build cross-institutional connections, and develop habits that keep human judgement at the center.

Together, we will explore:

• How AI can support originality rather than flatten it.
• How to strengthen creativity and critical thinking alongside AI.
• What norms help us remain authors of our own work.

Join us Friday, November 13, 10:00am–2:00pm for an engaging, thoughtful, and practical workshop. Light breakfast refreshments and lunch will be provided.
