What this course is

Today's teens have grown up online, but few understand how the tools shaping their lives actually work. This course pulls back the curtain on AI, algorithms, and the digital systems that influence what they see, think, and buy. Students learn to use modern technology as a power tool for learning, creating, and producing instead of being used by it.

Weekly 90-minute sessions, small-group format, hands-on labs.

Why it matters

AI is rewriting the rules of work, school, and creativity. Teens who learn to use these tools intentionally and who understand how they work will have a decisive edge for the rest of their lives.
