Dr. Aaron Sams is an Associate Professor of Education at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA.

During this time, he co-published seven book through ISTE and ASCD.

Realizing he is better suited to be in a classroom than on an airplane, he got his Ph.D. In STEM education from Texas Tech and settled into his role at Saint Vincent preparing pre-service teachers for a career serving students. Aaron is currently exploring ethics and bias in AI models and seeks to determine the impact those can have on educational applications of AI.
When he is not teaching, Aaron can generally be found cooking with his wife, paying for college application fees for his kids, rock climbing, or remodeling his back yard chicken coop. Classes and presentations with Aaron are likely to contain ridiculous analogies, mediocre singing, self-deprecating humor, and healthy dose of the absurd.
