SUMMARY:AI Literacy in Action: A Professional Learning Series for Out-of-School Time Educators
DESCRIPTION:Join STEM next and AI for education for a three-part professional development series designed to strengthen AI literacy\, confidence\, and responsible AI practices among out-of-school time (OST) educators. Participants will explore generative AI fundamentals\, apply the Safe\, Ethical\, and Effective (SEE) Framework\, and consider how to support young people in navigating an increasingly AI-driven world. Through practical examples\, interactive activities\, and real-world scenarios\, the series will help educators translate AI concepts into meaningful learning experiences.  \n \n\n  \nSession 1: AI Literacy Foundations — Understanding Generative AI (December 10\, 2026 2pm ET) \nBuild a shared understanding of generative AI\, how it works\, and its opportunities and limitations in out-of-school-time settings. Participants will explore common misconceptions\, get familiar with popular AI tools\, and learn how the SEE Framework supports safe\, ethical\, and effective AI use. \nSession 2: Putting the SEE Framework into Practice — Supporting Youth in OST (December 14\, 2026\, 2pm ET)  \nExplore how to apply AI for Education’s SEE Framework (Safe\, Ethical\, and Effective) to guide responsible AI use in out-of-school-time settings. Participants will examine real-world scenarios involving youth\, explore strategies for addressing bias and evaluating AI-generated content\, and practice using the framework to make informed decisions. Through hands-on activities and ready-to-use resources\, participants will gain practical strategies for helping young people navigate AI confidently and responsibly. \nSession 3: Developing Future-Fluent Youth — Supporting AI Literacy Beyond the Program (December 16\, 2026\, 2pm ET) \nExplore practical strategies for helping young people develop the knowledge\, skills\, and mindsets needed to navigate an AI-driven world. Participants will learn how to foster meaningful conversations about AI\, model responsible use\, and encourage ethical decision-making. With a focus on strengthening connections between OST programs\, families\, and schools\, this session will highlight ready-to-use resources and approaches for supporting youth AI literacy beyond the program setting.
