RECENTOUTREACH
Free, hands-on AI literacy sessions in schools, libraries, and community organizations — meeting students where they already are.
Our chapters run workshops throughout the school year. Public dates are booked term by term as schools and community partners reach out, most recently September 25, 2026. Tell us a date range and we will bring a session to your students.
Request a workshop→AI literacy only matters if it reaches people. Here’s where we’ve been — hands-on sessions meeting students where they already are and making AI something they can question and use well.
Every session is free and taught by high school students rather than adults. That matters more than any part of the curriculum: a fifteen-year-old will admit to a seventeen-year-old that they have been using AI to write essays, and that admission is where the useful conversation starts.
We do not teach AI as a list of tools to use or avoid. Tools change every few months; the questions do not. How does this system produce an answer? What would it look like if it were wrong? Who is accountable when it is?

Session recaps
From the sessions
Host a session
Bringing a workshop to your students
We teach at schools, libraries, teen centers, and after-school programs across the Cincinnati area, and travel further when a date allows. Here is exactly what hosting one involves.
What it costs
Nothing. No fee, no minimum group size, no materials budget. Our grants exist so a host never has to weigh AI literacy against something else.
What we need from you
A room, a screen if you have one, and thirty to sixty minutes. A staff member stays in the room — our volunteers are high school students and teach under the host's supervision.
Who it is for
Middle and high school students, from a dozen to a full assembly. No prior knowledge of AI is assumed of anyone in the room.
How to book one
Email us a rough date range and the age of the students. We send the outline in advance so you know exactly what will be taught.
Every session follows the same shape: open with a demonstration that fails in front of the students, let them test the tool themselves, then close on judgment rather than mechanics. The Chapter-in-a-Box page breaks it down activity by activity.
To request a session, email samarth.khandelwal@studentsforailiteracy.org or call +1 (513) 953-6153. If your school would rather run its own sessions on an ongoing basis, start a chapter — the curriculum is free.
