X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us for a four-session discussion seri
 es built around real AI headlines. Each session begins with a short news s
 tory that sets the topic. Together\, we separate fact from myth\, practice
  one actionable skill\, and open the floor for conversation guided by your
  questions.</p>\n<p>By participating in this program\, you build clear\, r
 esponsible AI habits:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Verify claims and sources.</li>\n<li>
 Detect deepfakes and other altered media.</li>\n<li>Write clear\, taskâ
 €‘appropriate prompts.</li>\n<li>Credit AI assistance when required.</
 li>\n<li>Protect your privacy and manage your digital footprint.</li>\n<li
 >Recognize and reduce bias.</li>\n<li>Consider energy use and environmenta
 l impacts.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Each session stands alone: join any or all of t
 hem. The format stays practical and teen-driven\, with space for your ques
 tions and real-life examples. Expect to leave with something you can use r
 ight away for schoolwork\, early work experiences and r&eacute\;sum&eacute
 \;s\, creative projects\, and everyday decisions.</p>\n<p>The <strong><a h
 ref="https://marylandstemfestival.org/">Maryland&nbsp\;STEM&nbsp\;Festival
 </a></strong>&nbsp\;is a month-long celebration of science\, technology\, 
 engineering\, and mathematics designed to advance&nbsp\;STEM&nbsp\;and STE
 AM education for children and teens that takes place every fall.&nbsp\;</p
