2026 Teaching Innovation Showcase

2026 Teaching Innovation Showcase

How are Franken-worms, bracket tournaments, AI, and more shaping the classroom of the future?

At the Teaching Innovation Showcase, attendees get a first look at the creative approaches that are changing the way courses are taught in Arts & Sciences. In 3-minute lightning pitches, A&S faculty present on their teaching innovations that are transforming the classroom for students and faculty alike. The event's succinct format pushes faculty to practice communicating broadly about the far-reaching, positive impacts their pedagogy has in the daily lives of WashU students. To that end, the audience for the showcase is intentionally broad and includes faculty, students, and staff; marketing and communications colleagues; university partners; and external organizations, among others.
