Artificial Intelligence Day for High School Students Held at St. John's University
St. John's University students gave high school youth from Brooklyn lessons on the ethical, responsible, and critical use of artificial intelligence.
Hosted by St. John's University, the third interactive Artificial Intelligence College Day program brought together first-year university students and local high school students to deliver AI lessons.
Program Details
More than twenty-five students from Bedford Stuyvesant New Beginnings Charter School visited St. John's University's Queens campus.
The Role of University Students
The event was led by first-year students enrolled in the FYS 1000: Artificial Intelligence course, who prepared presentations on topics such as AI ethics, bias, and data privacy.
Purpose of the Project
Created by instructor Omar Lopez, the program aimed to teach high school visitors how to use AI responsibly while providing university students with community engagement experience.
Student Observations
High school student Ta'Veon Spencer noted that the program presented AI not as a tool to replace personal work, but as a valuable guide to organize the college search process.
