How do you teach responsibly using AI? What's it like to push for policy change as a teenager? How can schools hire more educators of color?
The Seattle Times Education Lab invites you to join a live conversation on these issues and more on Thursday, May 2nd. The event, hosted by Seattle's Franklin High School, begins at 7 p.m. and will focus on his five topics shaping the future of education. Artificial intelligence, apprenticeships and career training, student re-engagement in school, youth behavior and activities, and developing and supporting a diverse educator workforce.
“The Future is in Our Hands” program is free and open to community members of all ages, but attendance is required. Sign up at st.news/edlabfuture.
