Using video andpost-interview data, we report on how engagement in the workshop activities influenced theirconfidence. We claim that educators' confidence grew when they were provided with hands-onopportunities to explore and understand emerging technologies. Moreover, our analysisunderscores recognizing and validating teachers’ unique insights and perspectives in fosteringtheir confidence. Additionally, we highlight the significance of involving educators in thecollaborative design of curricula and activities centered around these innovative ML tools. Byshedding light on these critical elements, our research offers practical guidance for fostering

Educators canseek to create just and equitable classrooms by cultivating in teachers a critical consciousness ofsocial justice and its role in engineering (Shuster & Giesemann, 2021). This consciousness canbe developed by tying the interactions of classroom life (i.e., talk, texts, technologies) to largerissues of engineering in society. This involves the recognition that engineering is mediated by‘ideologies, beliefs about learning’ and is encoded in ‘representations, spaces and socialpractices’ of the learning environment and of the broader societal context in which engineering ispracticed (Gravel et
