For our second summer session, SAIL volunteers returned to lead a full afternoon of hands-on AI literacy. Under the SAIL banner on the big screen, students dug into how everyday AI tools actually make decisions — and why understanding those tools matters more than ever.
One of our student leads walked the group through a live demo, breaking down how an AI model generates text and where it can get things wrong. From there, participants worked through guided activities, filling clipboards with their own predictions and reflections before comparing notes as a group.
Every participant went home with a reusable smart notebook to keep experimenting on their own. We closed the day with a group photo — a room full of young people who now think a little more critically about the technology shaping their world.
