Kicking Off the School Year at Bronx Science

What an incredible way to start the school year! On September 2nd, I had the privilege of presenting a keynote at the Bronx High School of Science alongside 17-year-old student speaker Nathan Goldberg. Together, we spoke to a full room of amazing teachers about a question that’s on everyone’s mind: AI is here—now what?

Sharing What’s Already Possible

We highlighted the powerful tools that are already available to NYC Public Schools, including:

Gemini in Google Classroom
NotebookLM
Copilot
SchoolAI

These are not “future” technologies—they’re here now, and teachers can start using them right away to support learning, planning, and differentiation.

Presenting at ISTE 2025: Live Translation & Digital Tools for Inclusion

At ISTE 2025, I had the chance to share the work we’re doing in NYC schools around Live Translation & Digital Tools—and how simple tech, already at our fingertips, can transform communication with multilingual learners and their families. The session was hands-on, scenario-based, and full of “aha” moments. This is about more than tools—it’s about inclusion, access, and making sure every student feels seen.

Microsoft PowerPoint Present Live is now retired—Now What?

If you’ve been to one of our Live Translation & Digital Tools workshops, you’ve probably used Present Live in PowerPoint Online. It was a simple, effective way to support multilingual families by adding real-time captions to your presentations.

Are your teachers prepared to use AI?

Many teachers feel unprepared to use AI in the classroom. At Made Manifest, we offer hands-on training that goes beyond tech tips—focusing on strategy, ethics, and real classroom impact.
