Devbridge Foundation and Mokslo sala have joined forces to invite teachers, education professionals, and anyone curious about technology to explore the future of education in the age of artificial intelligence on May 13.
The event program will feature:
an inspiring keynote by Tomas Ramanauskas, co-founder of the educational and cultural platform
a panel discussion with leading Lithuanian experts on talent development and AI,
and hands-on workshops for teachers focused on practical AI tools.
The free event is designed for those who want not only to understand emerging technologies, but also to learn how to apply them in everyday educational practice.
Turning Fear Into a Superpower
The conference, titled “School and AI: Threat or Superpower?”, will bring together educators, business representatives, and EdTech creators to discuss Lithuania’s current position in the context of artificial intelligence, evaluate the real value and risks of technology, and explore what teachers — and the education system as a whole — can already do today to develop globally competitive talent.
The event will open with a keynote presentation by one of Lithuania’s most prominent communication and advertising professionals, Tomas Ramanauskas. The co-founder of Kūrybingumo mokykla will deliver a talk titled “AI Walks Into the Classroom”, examining how technology is reshaping communication, information discovery, worldviews, and the very motivation and ability to learn.
“We must acknowledge that artificial intelligence is transforming the learning process more rapidly every day. In my presentation, I will invite participants to explore this challenge from three different perspectives. Together, we will try to understand students who increasingly delegate tasks to AI, as well as schools and teachers who are striving to rethink assignments and assessment methods. We will also discuss the evolving role of teachers in AI-enhanced education and how these technologies can become co-pilots in teaching methodology. It will be both useful and engaging,” says Ramanauskas.

Lithuania #1: Talent Development and AI
Following the keynote, guests will be invited to an open discussion titled “Lithuania #1 – Talent Development and AI”, where experts will share insights into the impact of technology on education and the competitiveness of Lithuanian students in a global environment.
Panel participants include:
Simona Laiconaitė
Laura Masiliauskaitė
Laura Daniusevičiūtė-Brazaitė
Erika Poškevičienė
and Šarūnas Dignaitis Kerpė
The discussion will be moderated by Gintarė Dzindzelėtaitė-Kelmelė, who also serves on the board of Švietimas #1.
According to Dzindzelėtaitė-Kelmelė, delaying the integration of technology into education is no longer an option:
“Education leaders such as Estonia and Finland, along with global innovators like Singapore and China, are consistently investing in AI competencies, digital literacy, and critical thinking from an early age, recognizing them as key drivers of economic competitiveness. Today, AI skills are directly linked to innovation, productivity, and investment attraction. Delaying the integration of technology into education would not only deepen the digital divide within Lithuania, but also widen the gap between our country and the world’s most advanced economies. We must act now — especially by expanding access to innovative knowledge in regional communities, where children’s access to technology and learning opportunities remains far more limited than in major cities.”

AI Laboratories and Future Classrooms
The event will conclude with “Future Classroom” workshops designed specifically for teachers, where participants will explore practical AI tools and learn how to apply them in everyday lessons.
Representatives from Vedliai — Lithuania’s only comprehensive computer science education platform — will invite teachers to create engaging lessons using digital tools, simulations, and virtual experimentation. Participants will explore how modern technologies can help spark students’ interest in science subjects.
Meanwhile, the team from Mokslo sala, the event’s main partner, will host two workshops in STEAM laboratories. Participants will use AI tools to transform ideas into 3D-printable models and discuss how such technologies can help students better understand complex concepts, encourage exploration, and foster creative learning.
Teachers will also have the opportunity to examine how artificial intelligence “sees” the world and gain hands-on experience with computer vision technologies.
“We place strong emphasis not only on nurturing students’ curiosity, but also on strengthening teachers’ competencies. We take a holistic view of education — our goal is to inspire teachers’ curiosity and introduce them to the latest technologies they can apply in their classrooms every day. More than 600 teachers have already participated in workshops hosted at Mokslo sala, and we look forward to welcoming even more participants on May 13,” says Aistė Lukaševičiūtė.

AI Tools for Mathematics Education
Education innovators and representatives of learning platforms Elicėjus and Alfa erdvė will demonstrate how AI tools can support mathematics education.
Teachers participating in the workshops will learn how to:
create assignments more effectively,
evaluate student work,
monitor academic progress,
save time in daily teaching activities,
apply personalized learning principles,
and identify as well as close students’ knowledge gaps.
“Artificial intelligence delivers the greatest value in education not when it attempts to replace the entire learning process, but when it solves very specific problems. In developing our learning platform, we aim to help students better understand mathematics through purposeful and clearly defined AI applications. This approach not only strengthens students’ knowledge, but also responds to teachers’ need for technology that complements — rather than replaces — teaching,” says Mantas Vičius.
Participation in both the conference “School and AI: Threat or Superpower?” and the “Future Classroom” workshops requires prior registration.
