We Are All
Storytellers
**From our friends at Story Xperiential**
Storytelling is critical to who we are as humans and is a critical life and workplace skill. In this hands-on and interactive session, you will learn how to create meaningful stories and support students to do the same using project-based lessons from the Story Xperiential program. Story Xperiential is a community centered storytelling platform that helps participants experience real world learning by working on authentic projects as done at companies they admire. Peer to peer feedback and lessons from professionals who work at Pixar, Disney, Netflix and other studios guide participants to learn how to craft stories. Learn about storytelling career opportunities, have fun telling stories and create portfolio pieces.

Building and playing the Game of Life
Thinking about what comes after high school shouldn't be as stressful as it is. It should be fun and even viral in some cases. We're setting out to build a series of life skills challenges that engage students in the practice of mindset development and skills development that will help them shape their lives after high school. We invite you to help us build and test some of these challenges. In this session you'll get to learn about how we view this by jumping into the work with us. You'll actually do one of the challenges we've built and will even have the chance to build your own life skills challenge.
11:00am-1:00pm, lunch
Educating AND COMPENSATING Youth
**From our friends at Dent Education**
Teens from under-resourced backgrounds are often forced to choose: do a job, earn now OR do an enriching program, build future career skills and mindsets. Earn-to-Learn Programs end this false choice by paying youth in a supportive, empowering environment. Tailored for program directors, non-profit leaders, and policy makers advocating for youth empowerment and economic justice, this session delves deep into the reasons for and challenges involved with compensating AND educating youth.
2:30-4:00pm, snacks

AI Roundtable: Building Ethical Tools and Practices
**A live podcast recording from our friends at ESAI**
When parents and teachers hear the words “AI” and “students” in the same sentence, their first question is often, “is that ethical?” AI builders discuss the ways in which the tech should and shouldn’t be used in education, and how we can begin to map out the roles and responsibilities of builders, teachers, and students.
