SAIL's outreach began with a simple idea: meet students where they already gather. At the Boys & Girls Club Summer Camp, our volunteers set up around the tables and started a conversation about artificial intelligence — no jargon, no pressure, just questions.
Working in small groups, students talked through where they'd already run into AI and what they wished they understood about it. The relaxed setting made it easy to ask the honest questions that a formal classroom sometimes discourages.
That first afternoon set the tone for everything since — approachable, student-led, and rooted in real conversation. It's where the SAIL outreach program found its footing.
