Creating content for your business shouldn’t take over your week. In this hands-on workshop, entrepreneurs and creators learn how AI can help them make better content in less time and get it in front of the right audience. Participants start by pitching a video or content idea for their business or brand. Then they use AI tools to sharpen it, improving SEO for videos and posts, streamlining production, and packaging content to increase reach and engagement. By the end, each participant will have built their own AI-assisted content workflow, a repeatable system they can keep using to grow their brand.

In this hands-on workshop, participants learn the basics of AI-assisted animation from first idea to finished clip. You’ll develop a short script and storyboard, generate characters and scenes, add motion, and finish with voice, music, and sound effects. Along the way, you’ll learn how to guide AI tools so the result matches your vision, and how to use AI-generated media responsibly.

In this hands-on workshop, participants explore how AI interacts with the world around us, and then build something that does it themselves. Participants start with the five big ideas of AI: how machines perceive the world, represent information and reason about it, learn from data, interact naturally with people, and affect society. Next, they see how machine learning is used to train AI and train a model of their own. Then they put that model to work, building a physical device that responds to its surroundings using what the model learned. Along the way, they’ll identify real examples of AI at work in everyday life, from homes to hospitals to city streets.

Students use AI as a research and design assistant across a full science-fair project: refining a testable research question, gathering and verifying background literature, designing a sound methodology, analyzing and visualizing data, and preparing to present. Science-fair integrity is front and center — AI as an assistant with honest disclosure, never a substitute for the student’s own work.

Step into the role of an AI filmmaker and learn how to transform your ideas into engaging short-form videos using generative AI. Students will explore AI tools for storytelling, scriptwriting, image and video generation, voiceovers, music, and editing. Through hands-on activities, students will learn effective prompting techniques and bring their own creative vision to life. By the end of the course, each student will have the skills to create and edit an original AI-powered short-form video.

A core AI-literacy workshop. Students use chatbots to brainstorm and explore ideas, then build the essential skill of verifying AI output: checking facts, catching hallucinations, evaluating sources, and recognizing bias, misinformation, and deepfakes. They practice on a topic they actually care about and leave with a reusable verification habit.

Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, changing fields, or starting something new, how you present yourself and who you know can open doors. In this session, participants learn to use AI as a thought partner for managing their careers with more purpose. Participants begin by defining their professional brand: their strengths, their skills, and the value they bring. From there, they use AI to strengthen how they communicate that brand, including bios, LinkedIn profiles, and networking messages. They’ll also learn to network more intentionally, using AI to find the right connections, prepare for conversations, and personalize outreach. Participants leave with practical prompts, tools, and an action plan for building their brand, growing their network, and pursuing their next opportunity.

Introduction to Computer Vision gives students a hands-on introduction to how computers learn to understand images and videos. Students will explore core computer vision concepts including image classification, object detection, object tracking, and image segmentation, while connecting them to real-world applications. They will also learn how training data is used to teach AI models and build and test their own image classification model using Google Teachable Machine. Depending on time, students will also get an introduction to using Python, Google Colab, and YOLO for object detection, giving them experience with both no-code and coding-based AI tools.

Students learn to run the entire college-application process with AI as a co-pilot: building a smart college list, finding scholarships and funding, drafting and revising essays in their authentic voice, locating summer programs, and organizing a realistic prep timeline. A running theme is responsible use verifying everything against official sources and spotting scholarship scams. Ideal for juniors and seniors, and valuable for underclassmen planning ahead.

This workshop demystifies how machines “learn” from examples instead of being programmed with rules. Students train their own image or sound classifier using a no-code trainer (such as Teachable Machine or Machine Learning for Kids), then connect that model to an interactive Scratch project. A hands-on bias lab lets them see, directly, how the data they feed a model shapes — and skews — its behavior.
