AI is moving fast. During the school year, faculty, parents, and students are often too busy to pause, explore, and catch up. Summer offers a rare opening: more time, more flexibility, and a meaningful chance for families to learn, practice, and build with AI together.
This practical webinar will provide a gentle introduction to key concepts in modern AI, including machine learning, artificial neural networks, generative AI, and agentic AI, along with a highly curated set of high-quality learning resources for faculty, parents, middle and high school students, and college students. The recommendations are drawn from years of teaching AI courses, mentoring students, conducting AI-related research, and learning AI as a family.
The webinar will also feature youth-tested pathways and student-led case studies:
- AI apps that read food ingredient labels and warn users about allergy risks;
- survey-based research on parents’ attitudes toward children’s consumption of non-alcoholic beer;
- AI tools for predicting glucose spikes from food and beverage intake;
- a chatbot supporting collaboration among university professors;
- community-based generative AI courses taught to teenagers and older adults.
We warmly welcome faculty, parents, children, students, and loved ones to join us for this family-friendly webinar to make this summer an AI learning season together.
