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:It's Electric! Bacterial Batteries
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on workshop will make use of Mudwatts to create bacterial batteries! We will explain how electro-microbiology works and how it is currently used. \nWe have a limited supply (only 10!) mudwatts. So\, there are 10 available tickets for people who want to build their own MudWatt that they can take home. But…there are also more tickets available for people who want to attend but not build their own Mudwatt (maybe you are sharing and building together with a partner\, sibling\, family member\, friend-all welcome!) \nIn this workshop\, you will discover the power of electricity-generating bacteria living in the soil beneath our feet! Best of all\, you will get to keep and take home your mudwatt to run a long-term experiment using the MudWatt Explorer App! MudWatts are reusable and can last for years! \nClass is appropriate for anyone in third grade and up!

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
