We approve event listings before they go live, typically within 24 hours.
No business sales, trunk shows, etc. (those would be paid advertisements). Please go easy on the ALL CAPS, exclamation points!!!!, etc.

Generative AI is rapidly reshaping how young people learn, connect, and understand themselves. From AI tutors and creative tools to always-on digital companions, these technologies promise new opportunities, but also raise urgent questions about children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. Rather than focusing on whether children should use AI, how do we ensure AI strengthens—rather than undermines—young people’s capacity to think, relate, and thrive?
To address this, Rebecca will share evidence-based recommendations for fostering meaningful, human-centered learning in the age of AI, providing attendees with practical strategies to keep their children on the path to motivation, well-being, and academic flourishing.
