This workshop is open to students entering grades 7–12. It is appropriate for students at any experience level with AI tools – from curious beginners to frequent users.
What to Expect
AI tools are already in the classroom, and the question is no longer whether students will use them — it's whether they'll use them well. This workshop gives students a practical and insightful foundation for navigating AI in academic settings: what these tools can and can't do, how to use them in ways that truly support learning, and how to avoid the shortcuts that undermine their education.
Over the course of this two hour workshop, students will explore common AI tools available for academic work, examine real examples of effective and ineffective AI use, and develop a personal framework for deliberating upon and engaging in effective use of this powerful technology to augment their learning. The session is hands-on and discussion-based; a working session on developing the judgment that will be crucial in the rapidly evolving world of LLMs.
Students will leave with concrete strategies they can apply immediately, a clearer sense of how to navigate school and university expectations, and a framework to use these tools in ways they can stand behind.
