June 20-22, 2023: Grab a few students and join us for a two-and-a-half-day video creation and editing event. Educators will bring a team of up to three students to participate in project-based learning centered around video creation using iPads, iMovie, green screens, YouTube, and collaborating skills. Student teams will showcase their videos in a Kids' Choice Awards, TeamJXN style, on day 3 of this event.

This day was developed by leading faculty and educators from MIT RAISE (Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education) Each curriculum is FREE and features four hours on average of hands-on activities that engage kids as they learn the fundamentals of AI, investigate its societal impacts, and bring grade-relevant applications of artificial intelligence to life. By registering for the event, you are given access to grade-level lessons about AI. This does not need to be done on May 18!
