Where do you see AI in your apps or games? What does it do well—and what should a person still decide?
Compare two AI answers: what’s missing, and how would we verify with trusted sources?
When is AI help okay for schoolwork, and how should we cite or disclose AI use?

Privacy & Transparency Tips

Ask how tools are selected and reviewed (privacy, bias, accessibility, age-appropriateness).
Look for clear disclosure when AI drafts or summarizes content; keep a Human → AI → Human review loop.
Use district-approved tools; avoid sharing identifiable or sensitive data with public AI systems.

Ways Community Partners Can Help

Serve on school/CTE advisory boards and co-design authentic projects tied to local careers.
Offer mentorships, job-shadowing, or family workshops at libraries and community centers.
Share feedback on local skill needs to inform student opportunities and capstone challenges.

Wisconsin lens: From library family nights to CESA-supported mentorships, AI literacy grows best when families, schools, and neighbors learn together.
