About this episode

In this episode, I chat with Eric Walters, Director of STEM Education at Marymount School of New York, about the creativity and AI ethics course he designed for high school students. You’ll also hear how his students dive into generative AI tools, reflect on ethical challenges, and create meaningful projects for authentic audiences. Tune in for a conversation on fostering agency, asynchronous learning, and preparing students to navigate AI’s creative potential responsibly!
