AI Parent Night: Bridging the Gap Between Education and Technology

The AI Parent Night was a student-led event designed to help parents understand how AI is used in education and its impacts on learning and future careers. This initiative represented months of careful planning and community engagement.

Preparation and Planning

Weeks before the event, the team gathered survey feedback from students, staff, and parents, coordinated guest speakers, and divided into specific planning groups to prepare. This comprehensive approach ensured that the event addressed the real concerns and questions of our community.

Expert Panel Discussion

The panel featured Ly Nguyen, Sandra McGonagle, Alex Levich, and principal Kip Glazer, who shared insights on AI in schools. These diverse perspectives provided attendees with a well-rounded understanding of AI's role in modern education.

Student Presentations and Insights

On the day of the event, students presented their observations on AI tools, usage trends, and ethical concerns, followed by a Q&A session that sparked meaningful discussions. The student-led presentations demonstrated the depth of understanding our tech interns have developed about AI and its implications.

Impact and Community Building

The event strengthened the connection between our parents and the school community and increased awareness about responsible AI usage. By bringing together different stakeholders in education, we created a space for open dialogue about one of the most pressing technological developments of our time.

AI Parent Night proved that when students take the lead in educating their community, the results can be transformative for everyone involved.
