We are excited to announce the upcoming second “Scaling Impact: Co-Creating a Shared Framework for Teaching AI and Machine Learning with Applications in Arctic Research” workshop, to be held from October 20-24, 2025, in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA!

Building on the success of our 2024 workshop, this highly collaborative event will bring together AI/ML practitioners, dedicated instructors, and subject matter experts. Our collective goal is to enhance and expand the existing curriculum for teaching AI/ML in Earth sciences, with a special focus on Arctic research applications. Participants will play a key role in designing an extensible framework to support AI/ML training across various course formats and learning environments.

This workshop is a unique opportunity for faculty, trainers, and researchers with a background in programming and AI/ML to:

Collaboratively review, design, and create reusable AI/ML training content.
Develop new pedagogical strategies for interdisciplinary teams.
Foster a network of educators to build AI/ML capacity in geosciences.
