Raised in Washington, D.C., Nigel Stewart moved to Atlanta in 2017 to attend Morehouse College, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Management and a minor in Sales. During his senior year, amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nigel founded M2M with a vision to create meaningful impact through education and entrepreneurship. After graduating, Nigel earned a Master’s degree in Sports Administration at Georgia State University. He gained valuable experience through internships with the NBA Headquarters, where he worked on venture capital initiatives and next-generation partnerships. While attending Georgia State, Nigel and M2M were accepted into their first accelerator program, the Main Street Entrepreneurs Seed Fund. That milestone became a turning point, inspiring Nigel to shift his focus from pursuing a career in sports to building M2M full-time. Since 2024, Nigel has dedicated himself to growing M2M and expanding its impact. His leadership is driven by a commitment to innovation, authenticity, and creating opportunities for the next generation. Outside of work, Nigel enjoys fitness, reading autobiographies, watching sports and films, and traveling.

What does it mean to move beyond AI literacy toward true AI fluency? In this session, we explore a 360-degree approach to AI in schools, one that goes past how to use the tools to examine the educational, societal, and developmental implications of how educators engage with AI. We'll discuss what fluency actually looks like for teachers, and how to cultivate that same fluency in students growing up in the age of AI. The session will also introduce the League of AI-Fluent Schools, a new initiative from Ed Farm and the Just Horizons Alliance bringing schools together to lead this work. Join us to help shape what AI fluency means for the next generation of learners.

As a former social worker turned educator, I quickly realized that the heaviest burden teachers face isn't a lack of tech skills—it’s pure discouragement and isolation. In this candid fireside chat, we will look past the AI hype to discuss how technology can be used as an empathetic tool to reinforce what is being taught across different classrooms. I will share honest, real-world stories of how we can step into supportive coaching roles to lift up discouraged peers and share the curriculum load through creative media. This conversation is an invitation to stop surviving in departmental silos and start using AI to build a connected, deeply supportive school community.
