SAIL kicked off its summer programming with an interactive workshop for local students. Rather than a lecture, the session was built around discussion and note-taking — students sketched out what they already believed about AI, then tested those ideas against how the technology actually behaves.
Our volunteers guided the group through real examples: where AI is genuinely useful, where it falls short, and how to spot the difference. Hands shot up throughout as students connected the concepts to the apps and assistants already part of their daily lives.
The afternoon wrapped with a group photo and a lot of new questions — exactly the goal. AI literacy isn't about memorizing answers; it's about learning to ask better questions of the tools around us.
