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:Paranormal Librarians
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the La Plata Branch after hours for a hands-on ghost hunting experience! Participants will learn the methods used by professional paranormal researchers\, including how to operate equipment such as EMF detectors\, spirit boxes\, dowsing rods\, audio and video recorders\, and trigger objects. \nWe’ll begin with an overview of how the tools work and best practices for conducting a respectful and thorough investigation. Then\, once the library has grown dark\, we’ll explore both the downstairs meeting room and the upstairs adult section\, using what we’ve learned to investigate possible paranormal activity. \nAfter the investigation\, participants will rotate through stations to review audio and video recordings\, analyze data\, and practice techniques for documenting—or debunking—potential findings.
