Designing What’s Next: ASU Studios at the 2025 ASU+GSV Summit
At ASU+GSV 2025, the ASU Learning Transformation Studios brought together bold ideas, cross-sector leaders, and global momentum for rethinking education. Through four powerful panels, Studios showcased innovation across AI, binational partnerships, health integration, and civic trust—each grounded in ASU's commitment to scale, access, and impact.
Inside the Classroom: How Educators Are Actually Using AI
Despite all the headlines, most teachers still aren't using AI—and not because they don't have access. It's because they don't see how it helps them or their students. This panel explored what it takes to go from interest to impact, with stories from teachers and district leaders paving the way forward. Learnings from a recent survey on AI adoption grounded the panel’s remarks. The research project was made possible through a partnership between ASU Learning Transformation Studios, Project Tomorrow, and Los Angeles County Office of Education
"58% of teachers said they haven’t discussed AI in class at all." – Julie Evans, CEO, Project Tomorrow

"It’s not about faster—it’s about real change, and that starts with mindset." – Arturo Cherbowski Lask, Executive Director, Santander Universidades; General Director, Universia México
