Raising Creative Thinkers: Helping Your Child Thrive in a Future with AI

AI is changing the work our kids will do and the skills they will need. Most of the conversation is about the technology. This one is about the child. What will your kid be good at that a machine isn't?

Speaker: W. Casey King, Ph.D.

Dr. Casey King, an AI strategist and researcher who works where industry and government adopt AI, will explain why creative thinking is becoming one of the most valuable skills a young person can have. He'll also cover what parents can do now to build it at home.

Bring your questions. The session includes time for Q&A.
