AI Ready Teens

Applied AI Project Lab

Put your AI skills into action! Teens will apply what they've learned to a hands-on project such as a content concept, business idea, or community-focused project.

Ready to put AI literacy into practice? In this extended, hands-on workshop, teens will apply skills from the series to develop a project of their own. Participants might create a content concept, explore a business idea, or develop a community-focused project using the AI skills they have learned. Returning participants can build on previous sessions, while first-time attendees can participate fully. 

What is the AI Ready Teens program series?

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the tools, platforms, and media teens encounter every day. This five-part series gives teens ages 12–18 practical AI literacy skills they can use in school, creative projects, online spaces, and everyday life. Participants will explore how AI works, learn how to get more useful results from AI tools, experiment with AI-assisted content creation, identify AI-generated media and misinformation, and explore AI for projects and entrepreneurship. Each session stands alone while building toward a broader understanding of responsible and effective AI use. There are also AI Ready program series for Kids & Families (6-11) and Adults. 

Registration is required. Families registering multiple teens should register each participant separately.
