The informative event, held at Nova High School in Davie, aims to prepare parents and students for future success as AI advances rapidly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an opportunity to really teach people about how Broward County Public Schools plans to use AI in the classroom and outside the classroom as well,\u201d said BCPS Superintendent Dr. Howard Hepburn.<\/p>\n
The school district said it is committed to ensuring families have the knowledge and tools needed to support their students\u2019 success in an increasingly technology-driven world.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really important for leaders and policy makers to anticipate the big changes that AI is going to bring and prepare our students and our families for you know, an AI workforce,\u201d said School Board Chair Sarah Leonardi.<\/p>\n
The event tackled and addressed the concerns and benefits of AI.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to have so many parents here. Also some of our students demonstrating how they\u2019ve been using it,\u201d said Hepburn.<\/p>\n
District officials said that whether attendees are still learning the ropes of AI or hoping to expand their knowledge of its growing capabilities, they want to provide valuable information and resources to help families support their children\u2019s educational journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur school staff, parents, and students need to be educated about the use. This is a new emerging technology, it\u2019s going to continue to grow financially, it\u2019s not going anywhere, so we need to make sure we understand it,\u201d said Hepburn.<\/p>\n
Hepburn said Broward schools are always on the precipice of innovation and want to ensure students\u2019 needs and the local industry\u2019s needs are met.<\/p>\n
