SUMMARY:AI IRL: Real Talk for Teens
DESCRIPTION:AI IRL: Real Talk for Teens is a four-session discussion series built around real AI headlines. Each session starts with a short news story\, separates fact from myth\, introduces one practical skill to try\, and opens the floor for conversation guided by teens’ questions. \nParticipants build practical\, responsible AI habits: verifying claims and sources\, recognizing bias and misinformation\, writing task-appropriate prompts\, crediting AI assistance when required\, and protecting privacy online. The final session includes a look at AI’s environmental impact\, tying into this year’s Maryland STEM Festival theme of ENERGY. \nEach session stands alone\, so participants can attend any or all and leave with something they can use right away for schoolwork\, early work experiences and resumes\, creative projects\, or daily life. Phones and laptops are welcome\, and snacks are provided. \nEvent runs from 10/22 through 11/12

SUMMARY:Explore FIRST Robotics
DESCRIPTION:We\, a FTC robotics team solar storm (27019) and Chinese American Parent Association at Howard County (CAPA-HC)\, will host a FIRST robotics event at Elkridge Library\, to introduce FIRST robotics at three different levels\, including LEGO based First Lego League (FLL)\, First Tech Challenge (FTC)\, and First Robotics Competition (FRC) programs\, together with our friend\nteams. The FLL is a Lego based robotics competition program suitable for grades K-8 (ages 5-16). The FTC is a robotics competition program suitable for grades 7-12 (ages 12-18). The FRC program is suitable for high school students (age 14-18). They gave students at all levels great opportunity to learn following\nskills: 1. STEM and technical skills including engineering thinking\, software and hardware\, electronics and robotics\, Critical thinking and problem\nsolving 2. Team work and leadership skills\, including collaboration\, effective communication\, project\nmanagement 3. Business and outreach skills\, including fundraising and finance\, branding and marketing\,\nentrepreneurship Our goal is to raise awareness of the First Robotics programs\, and inspire more students in our community to explore STEM\, especially engineering and robotics. We will have multiple robotics teams at different levels to show case our robots and introduce how to build and test robots. Visitors will have fun interaction with robots. Through this activity\, we hope to spark curiosity\, encourage hands-on learning\, and get more kids excited about robotics and STEM and engineering.
