Code the Research with judgment
Use AI to explore a question without outsourcing the thinking or accepting an answer at face value.
Track forming · Ages 12–15
Move from using AI to understanding how to direct it.
An upcoming track for young teens ready to research, create, code, and make better judgments with modern AI tools.
Planned learning arc
Replace passive use with informed building.
Young teens already encounter AI in school, search, creative tools, and social platforms. This track is designed to help them use it deliberately and responsibly.
Check the source
Practice source checking, hallucination detection, and responsible attribution.
Design the context
Give clear prompts, useful background, constraints, and feedback for more complex projects.
Create across formats
Build with text, images, data, and code while keeping the learner’s own intent at the center.
Understand workflows
See how agents and modern software workflows operate, including where people still need to direct and check the work.
Know the boundaries
Examine privacy, bias, digital identity, responsible use, and what should not be handed to an AI tool.
Project-led workshops
A repeatable way to think and build.
The forming track centers on small cohorts, real challenges, collaborative builds, and individual capstone projects.
Research
Frame the question, gather context, and use AI to widen the search without handing over the final judgment.
Verify
Check sources, compare claims, test assumptions, and identify where the output may be incomplete or wrong.
Build
Turn the idea into a project with text, images, data, or code, then improve it through iteration.
Explain
Present what was made, how AI contributed, which decisions stayed human, and what should change next.
What we are forming
A first cohort shaped by local interest.
Dates and session cadence are not locked. We are starting by hearing from Louisville families and young teens about what they want to understand or build.
Small, project-led cohorts
Real challenges, collaborative builds, and room for each learner to develop an individual capstone project.
