AI Literacy through 3d Virtual World Building

Thursday October 9, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

Capitol

Ready to make AI fun, creative, and accessible for all ages? In AI Story Studio, students in grades 3–12 use AI tools to dream up sequels to favorite stories and bring them to life in 3D virtual worlds. Along the way, they learn how AI works, how to use it responsibly, and even how to start programming with AI—no experience needed. Come see how storytelling becomes a launchpad for AI literacy, student voice, and some wildly creative world building.
