About this Event

Enduring Literacy In the AI World: From Barriers to Breakthroughs
Presented by Study Fetch

This event brings together educators, innovators, and thought leaders to address the urgent literacy epidemic in the United States, where too many students graduate functionally illiterate.

The program features two dynamic panels and a demo:

Panel One: Traditional Literacy, The Unsolved Problem — exploring the scope of the crisis and strategies for supporting students and schools.
Study Fetch Product Demo and Q&A
Panel Two: AI In Classrooms: Everybody Is Talking, Who's Doing? — examining how AI literacy and responsible tech use can become vital tools in education, and how Study Fetch is leveraging its platform to improve reading outcomes globally.

Together, these conversations will highlight both the challenge and the opportunity to transform literacy in the age of AI.

69% of American fourth-graders can't read proficiently.
We're not convening just to discuss AI in education - this symposium is about solutions. Every attendee should come prepared to roll up their sleeves and get involved. We're here to move beyond the hype and into the implementations that actually work.
