What happens when creative, hands-on thinking meets the power of artificial intelligence?

This immersive full-day workshop brings together LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) and Google AI tools such as Gemini, NotebookLM, and Google Vids to help educators explore challenges and imagine new possibilities for learning in international schools.

Participants will begin the day using LEGO® Serious Play® to build models that represent their perspectives on meaningful learning, innovation, and the evolving role of technology in education. Through storytelling and shared reflection, these models help surface both opportunities and barriers facing international school communities.

Building on these insights, participants will explore how AI tools can support research, idea generation, synthesis, and communication. Using these tools, educators will extend their thinking and experiment with new ways of developing and communicating ideas.

In the afternoon, participants return to LEGO® Serious Play® to build refined models that represent future possibilities for learning, leadership, and innovation. The workshop concludes with reflection and the creation of a simple digital artifact that participants can take back to their schools to continue the conversation with colleagues.

Blending creativity, technology, and collaborative design thinking, this session offers educators a powerful space to explore complex challenges and consider new approaches to innovation in international school environments.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the workshop, participants will:

Use LEGO® Serious Play® to explore and visualize beliefs, challenges, and opportunities related to innovation and learning in international school contexts.
Apply Google AI tools (Gemini, NotebookLM, Google Vids) to extend ideas, prototype solutions, generate insights, and support change-focused workflows.
Experience a blended analog–digital design process that models how hands-on and AI-supported thinking can coexist in modern pedagogy.
Develop actionable prototypes or future-focused concepts that can be implemented or piloted in their schools.
Strengthen their capacity for collaborative leadership, creative problem-solving, and reflective practice across diverse, global learning environments.
