So, you're in a school, so we we do have a nice greeting. Good morning, everybody. >> Good morning. >> So, my name is Principal Tracy, as you heard the kids talk. Um, I'm Tracy Walker Griffith, the proud principal of the Elliot School, and we are here today
because of a remarkable commitment, a partnership between the city of Boston, the Boston public schools, UMass Boston, and a generous funer who I met today,
Paul. And Paul is not only a generous funer. Paul is an amazing human that went to Boston public schools, graduated from Boston Latin, went to UMass Boston, and his trajectory is what every student
in Boston needs to see as a reality. That every student across our Commonwealth and especially our city needs access to highquality opportunities. and he knows that everyone needs to be deserves to be ready for an AI powered world and that
commitment starts here today. So at the Elliot our students and our teachers have been already living this work. We've watched students use AI to create to problem solve and then challenge AI
because AI is not always right. We've seen our teachers design learning experiences that don't just ask students to use AI, but to think critically about it. Our community is learning that AI is a powerful tool, but it has real limits
and they the humans are still the leaders and they will be leading us in the future. So that matters because our children are entering a world and growing into a world that will require exactly that. just knowing how to use
technology, but also knowing how to use technology wisely and responsibly. So today's announcement is about making sure that every student across the city of Boston has that opportunity. And we are so proud to be part of this moment.
Now, I'd like to introduce someone who represents exactly why this work matters. a curious thinker, a bold learner, and someone who is not afraid to ask questions of people and machines.
Please welcome super sixth grader Anukica Chalisani. Um, hi, my name is Anukica Chalisani and I'm a sixth grader at the Elliot School. I am truly excited to be up here because AI has been a real part of how I learn and today that gets to expand to
students across the whole city. So these are a few examples of how I've used AI in my everyday school life. In one project, I used AI to create a chatbot to help solve problem many people face. Not everyone can afford expensive cafes
or restaurants. So my chatbot helps people find affordable places or make similar things at home. I wanted to make sure that everyone felt like equals and one didn't have more than the other. AI acted as a thought partner, challenging my thinking and helping me refine my
detail, my ideas. I also used AI to get feedback on my writing about reading. On AI Thursday every week, we put our responses into a chatbot and it quickly told us what we did well and what to improve. It helped me think more deeply about my answers and explain why my
evidence really matters. I still had to do the hard work, the same brain effort, and through that I could see my writing improve every single time I got new feedback. AI is a way to improve our thinking, not replace it. It is out of this world how many ways that AI can
help people achieve, and how it can open a new perspective, a new way to look at things, one that we wouldn't have without AI, and that can truly open opportunities for everyone at BPS. So, it is my honor to introduce someone who makes things like this happen. Mayor
Michelle Woo. Mayor Woo, thank you for making sure Boston students are always part of what's next. >> Thank you so much, Anukica. It's been incredible to see all that's been happening at the Elliot. Um, and to hear through Principal Tracy's leadership
over many, many years since I myself was a uh, guardian with a student, my sister at that point at the Elliot. Um, back in the old building back years and years ago to see all of this excitement and innovation and inclusion of all of the
me parts of our community and also all the opportunities in our community just grow and grow and grow. So, thanks for being such an incredible example and inspiration to all of us. Um, and thank you also. I know Isabella and Gianna are here as well who um have been part of
that same experience. And I'm, you know, every time I'm in our our schools, I get a reminder of just how important it is that we keep providing every opportunity for our young people, but also a reminder of um how ready our students
are to take on wherever they're headed in the world um with whatever opportunities that that they have. And so the more that we create, the more doors that are open, the more that we invest, the more it comes right back to us as as these leaders will be changing the world uh and and taking care of our
city. I'm really thankful for all who made uh today's visit possible. Thank you to all the staff and faculty at the Elliot and all of the school community members and and um family members and and all of our students uh for always showing up. there's not an event
anywhere in this area where we don't have a performance or a collaboration with the school and so that embedding in community is so impactful for everyone. Uh I also want to thank and recognize uh of course our superintendent and her team at the district level. Thank you
superintendent Skipper for making sure that we're creating and um always on the leading edge across the country as well. and to my colleagues in elected office. Um we are represented here by district counselor uh for this district and someone who's always here at this
school, city councelor Gabriella Ker Apata, who's been doing so much to ensure that our young people have opportunities and um thank you for all your support on the council coring colleagues to make sure we're we're making the right investments as well. there are um many many team members who
are here from our administration in the room who've been thinking about how to pull together the partnerships that we see here and across the district. Um so I want to recognize our partnerships team and um all those who have been involved in in supporting this day uh
and many other days. And then finally, uh, last but certainly not least, to our partners at UMass Boston and to, um, uh, as, as the chancellor was saying, the prophetic, uh, leadership of Paul English in so many ways. Thank you both
for creating the structure and the um, the infrastructure really to help provide this kind of fluency across not just Boston, but beyond. But most of all, thank you for making sure it starts here and connecting it right back to our
public schools. I'm really grateful to partner with you. We are all about trying to partner and provide every opportunity. And so today is an exciting uh milestone and report out on some of the work that's been happening in Boston public schools for
many years as you'll hear to think of integrating technology and how to prepare our students and our staff at BPS for what is a very quickly evolving landscape and one that is going to shape the future of our economy and community
and society. Um this is a public private partnership between city government, higher education and industry that will position Boston public schools as a leader in AI fluency as well as um the the understanding for all of our students to recognize the full context
of this world. Starting in September, we are bringing AI literacy programming to BPS high schools with the goal for our students to graduate proficient in understanding how to use the tools in front of them and ready for the world ahead, able to leverage it to take them
further in school, in their careers and life. Now um we have already seen the potential and the impact of AI on many industries that is transformational and happening even faster and faster by the day. Uh we also recognize the
challenges, the risks and pitfalls that can happen with such a quickly evolving situation and as we're headed into new territory. And so this programming is really holistic. It recognizes that every one of our students and every one of our community members deserve a good
paying, dignified job and a community grounded in human connection with the tools to help support that in every way possible. And so part of the curriculum that um Paul and the chancellor and our school leaders have already been planning and mapping out is really
grounded in ethics and grounded in understanding how to um maintain and uh develop creativity, leadership and um enhance the learning that's happening, not replace or substitute for it. So
here's what's not happening. There's no use of our students or families information or data uh in any way that is going to be um handed over to any other entities related to this field. This is not about um making sure that this this is not about screen time or
other ways of technology substituting for or supplanting education. This is about empowering our young people to have every bit of knowledge and understanding and fluency to make the most of the choices in front of them and the opportunities in front of them. Our
educators, as always, play an incredible role and um have been central to this effort. BPS educators will receive advanced tech training and sustained support throughout the school year to bring the cutting edge into their classrooms responsibly and with the
appropriate guard rails. And I want to thank all of our partners who have been working on BPS's AI integration committee for several years on this front from the Boston Teachers Union to all of the um departments and and representatives and organizations who have been at the table. This focus on
ensuring AI fluency and literacy will help our students get ahead whether their path after graduation is college, career, or entrepreneurship. And we get to kick this off with the vision, expertise, and generous funding from Paul English. Paul's $1 million
seed contribution will help start to equip BPS students with the skills to excel and participate in every aspect of the economy of tomorrow. And as I stated in our state of the schools speech last year, we are calling
on every sector in the city to get involved in our Boston public schools to come to the table with new ideas and new partnerships so that we can open doors and make sure that the classroom for our students is not just within the four walls of their schools, but really throughout the entire city of Boston.
We're planning to kick things off this summer collaborating with the Paul English Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute at UMass Boston. Thank you, Chancellor Suarez Sorosco. And through that, we will be developing engaging challenging courses aligned with current industry practices, creating hands-on
opportunities for students to apply their knowledge, providing supports and access for our educators to be on the cutting edge of AI and improve our programming across the district. Uh I am also excited to share that the
BPS programming uh will also deepen the relationships with our larger industry and with partners in the business community. So our AI industry advisory board chaired by Paul and Ellen Rubin, operating partner at Glasswing Ventures, will be made up of leaders from
Bostonbased companies on the cutting edge of AI. They will help give feedback on the programming, help provide access to opportunities, advise our educators and students, and help organize learning opportunities for students to see things
directly hands-on out in the community. We're envisioning everything from guest speakers and site visits to hackathons and internships. We are working to make Boston Public Schools the oldest and first public school district in the country, the very
best in the country. Starting next school year, we will be the first public school district to ensure that our students are thinking carefully about how to graduate ready with this opportunity and with this fluency. And so, um, I want to give another big thank you to Paul and to everyone who's been
involved in creating the resources and opportunities for our young people, for giving back and never forgetting where you're from and and creating that chance for all of our students to see your example. And I also want to thank our educators and our students. Even
spending 15 20 minutes upstairs with our sixth graders, I got to sit at a table with Elijah and Louie. And they were explaining to me as they're thinking about how to write essays and um improve their own writing skills and analysis
and to do so on the short timelines that realistically you have to do as you're taking the MCCAST and and other things that they were very clear. they never were asking uh AI or or the prompt to tell them what to do that they were in charge and they were going to make sure
that the ethics of um how they learn were very squarely connected to their own improvements. So they were showing me their notebooks that had all the planning and the mapping of the um GG and I were understanding that there's not only the old school way where you have the f the main point three supporting points and then a conclusion
there was a there's a new acronym and other you know many various ways that they are ahead of the curve and thinking about how to organize their thoughts. They do that. They draft their essays. They enter that into the prompt uh the they enter the prompt and the essay into
the tool that their teacher has specifically created for them. And then what they got back was grow glows and growth. So glow points, what you did really well in this essay and grow points, where could you have gone deeper? And each of the points they
showed to me was not you should write this instead, but a series of questions. Did you think about this point? What about this character and their relationship with this this theme that you're writing about? And it was incredible to hear them um in sixth
grade ready to understand not only their own capabilities and their um talent and education and use of what they've learned but also to understand their capacity for growth and to reach through every tool possible. Whether it is
technology or whether it is in that group discussion at the table or whether it is the the specializations that their teachers are making possible for them individualized feedback group sessions that they're ready to be the very best that they can be and that is inspiring
for all the city to see. So thank you for doing all that you are doing. Um and I am very excited. Okay, I'm going to do one more time in espanol and then I I'm going to introduce um our entrepreneur and friend Paul English. Okay.
Boston artificial artificial Fantastic. Fore inch. Rosa Paul Paul Studio. English applied artificial intelligence
institute Gracia artificial. For in Boston organiz Hackathons. So, thank you to everyone who has been involved and proud to introduce PAUL
ENGLISH. THANK YOU, MAYOR. Thank you especially to the Elliot School for hosting me today. I bleed Boston. I went to Boston public schools. Uh before that, my dad was a pipe fitter for Boston Gas Company for 49 years. My mother was a teacher uh
in West Roxbury and I just love this city. Today I've my career I'm an engineer by training from UMass Boston great great university that I'm very delighted to partner with on AI initiatives and I have started and sold half a dozen companies during my career
but I'm more proud of the nonprofits including the Embrace Memorial and the Boston Common the Winter Walk for Homeless which happened last weekend and now I look at today here at the Elliot School is literally one of the highlights of my career. I think this is an incredibly bold vision for Boston. I think this once again Boston is known as
a city of innovation that many things in this country and in the world were invented here in Boston and pioneered in Boston and I'm excited that um the mayor and her administration and Mary skipper and the rest of the team is pushing ahead with AI literacy for everyone who
graduates from Boston public schools. This will not only help the students in terms of becoming better students using AI interactively to quiz them, keep them up to date, help them where they might miss something in a classroom and really working with the teachers, but it's also
going to help their families many times new technology over my career. It's the young people who bring new technology in. And I look forward to the students of Boston public schools teaching their parents how to use AI and how they should think about AI um ethically, how how to tell when AI is not accurate and
how to use AI critically. Also, when people graduate from Boston public schools, whether they go off to college to UMass or another university or if they start decide to start working right after graduating Boston public high school, their training at Boston public high school in AI will advance their
companies in Boston. So I look at the announcement today as something also for the Boston economy that Boston will become an AI forward city because of the students at Boston public schools who will train the companies in Boston how to get more customers, how to build better products, how to build better
services and I know this is going to happen and I'm just thrilled to be here today at the Elliott School. So thank you everyone for hosting me. I now want to introduce uh my great friend Marcelo who's the chancellor of UMass Boston. We've been partners in AI for about three and a half, four years right now. And he'll tell you a little bit more about what UMass is going to be doing
with the city of Boston. >> Thank you, Paul. Thank you. Thank you, >> the Elliot. Good morning. >> Good morning. >> Okay, that's nice. I'm so happy
to be here at this historic moment because the idea of public education, the idea that education should be for
all, that education should be free, that education should be non-denominational. It's not a given idea. It's an idea that first formed in the neural pathways
of a Bostononian. That idea changed the world from Boston to the world. A fancy term for that is this is uh the
diplomacy socioeotional and cognitive that our city a city of firsts has given to the world. And it all started
with a member of the Boston City Council, the great Horus man who understood education to be at the center of the practice of democratic citizenship.
The link to the labor market fundamental. the link to what the Greeks call the flourishing of the whole human being, udmonia in in uh in Greek fundamental. But man prophetically
saw the nexus between public education and citizenship. So that a free, a virtuous, a democraticallyminded citizenry would have all the tools
to face the challenges of the times. I am so so proud to be part. Uh I want to thank our principal for hosting us. Mucha gracias.
By the way, the mayor speaks perfect Spanish. Trust me, the polit trust me. I I go around our country and they fake it. You know, I was chilling with uh Gavin Newsome the other day. He came to the presidential library. He says, "Oh, amigo." And
that's it. Much gracias alesa. Um, our rep, where is Gabriella? You must Boston graduate. Uh, member of the council. Thank you. Member of the legis our
legislator, our legislation. Uh, my brother Aaron. Amazing. I mean at the leadership of everything that matters, climate, climate resilience, AI, all matters pertinent to economic
growth for a purpose. But I want to talk to the most important people in this room, Anakah and our students. because I feel
so optimistic today after listening to our students for 10,000 years of human evolution and innovation the human hand the human neoortex and our socioeotional
architecture has driven all technological innovation and AI As you noted, Aneka, needs to be finally
a subject of a human deliberation that enlists our own unique socioeotional and cognitive and metacognitive
um architecture, a tool for human flourishing. a tool as my brother Paul was prophetic by the way before anybody was talking about AI about four years ago
he said there's something big is going to happen in the world and either you're going to be in it or you're going to be working for somebody who's in it. I'm never going to forget that. That's in the neural pathways of your chancellor forever.
Prophetic. Nobody was talking about how this was going to uh become so significant a tool for human um innovation for human flourishing. Uh we were ahead of the curve thanks to
Paul English. We thought in terms of pioneering terms. We believed at the Paul English Institute that engaging with AI in ways that model educational delivery to meet
the changing needs of a dynamic economy workforce to generate equitable opportunities in our communities. We also saw AI as a tool requiring human
oversight to ensure fairness and ethical use in this promising technology. To the teachers in the room, I am the child of two public education
teachers in the great city of Wenocides. I carry education and the work of our teachers. I come from a family of public school teachers in my DNA. That's even bigger than AI DNA. Okay.
So, I want to uh thank our teachers for what I saw today. Your scaffolding of how the next generation is ethically,
responsibly with gusto, with Ghana. That's a good word, mayor, to use. Ghanas with Gusto and Ghanas. Uh so they they can be better citizens, be
better ready to meet the challenges of the future. this iconic gift, a million dollar investment, you must Boston will then expand our uh entire uh buffet of initiatives to
promote educational equity in this the iconic Boston public school system. I am so proud to stand here with our superintendent. I've worked with superintendent. I work with superintendent in two other cities you
might have heard of, New York and LA. And let me tell you, we have a jewel here in terms of sharp focus on
education for the flourishing, for citizenship, for socioeconomic mobility. Superintendent much gracias. Uh we're going to be the first public school system uh in the
country uh to do so. Again, the idea that firm first formed in the neural pathways of a Bostononian gets a a little um push now through the brilliant philanthropy of uh my brother Paul and
the extraordinary leadership of our mayor, our superintendent, our public uh public uh officials. You must Boston is Boston's research
university the only public we are a top rank R1 university you know as a professor for many years across the river that other place okay we're R1 like the on the other side of the river and those of you who are not sitting
down you may want to hold on onto something we are ranked at the as the most open what's the term Provos Access University numero uno in the United States of
America. Numero uno. This is a very powerful day and I am so proud to pledge to you that you must Boston and the Boston public schools will together be the beacons of the smart,
the useful, the ethical applications of AI to support citizenship, to support socioeconomic mobility and Most importantly, the purpose of education
as our uh uh Horus man noted for the democratic order. Muchias who comes now Mary skipper. I am delighted to introduce our superintendent.
Thank you. I just love watching the chancellor speak. It's great. Um, so first off, I would like to give a huge shout out and I'd like everyone to join me uh to Principal Tracy. I I won't get teary right now, but
Principal Tracy uh is moving on to a next phase um which we're hoping is with us as well. Um but um I think the legacy of the school you've built is evident in your students and um very impressive um very impressive. So we've just been blessed
with your many many years of service. Um I'd also like to thank our mayor because I couldn't think of a better partner with vision uh to always ask the question what is going to make the student experience better? What is going to make the student learning experience
better in the BPS? And today is an example of that, of bringing together stakeholders to do that. Um, honestly, our chancellor just shows up wherever and whenever we can work together in an innovative way to better
the situation for our kids. It's really that simple. And Paul, today you're making a gift. It's an investment. I think we know that. And it's a deep investment in the future of our students in the BPS. probably at no more time,
better time. Um, do we need to ensure in the BPS that the commitment the mayor and I have made that our students are graduating academically prepared for the world, social emotionally prepared for the world, that they have the knowledge and
the skills of career and the experiences of early college and are prepared with technology and with AI to be the responsible leaders of the next generation. That is a firm commitment we've made and today you are helping us
to really make good on some of that commitment. I think you know we have been building on AI now for a few years. We've been involved where uh we have uh almost 30 AI fellows in our teachers. uh principal
Tracy and other leaders in the BPS have been part of a consortium and what you're seeing today at the Elliott is evidence that that consortium has made a difference in bringing AI readiness and the beginnings of that to our youngest students. We are now really needing to
amplify that at the high school level. Um there's several things that I love about this investment. One is that it's an investment for our high school students. They will have the opportunity to take credit bearing courses at UMass which makes a huge difference uh for the
UMass Boston to be able to offer those credit bearing for our high school students uh in the form of uh an API a uh ai institute. Um but also it means that we can start enhancing both student
and educator skills in readiness for teaching and learning uh using AI in a responsible uh and deep knowledge way within the BPS. I had the chance to be in the A group I think over here. Um,
uh, Giana and Isabella, uh, and Anukica all taught me just in a short amount of time a great deal about what they were doing. But what was clear to me is the words they were using. They each had roles and a good portion of their lesson was around talking and collaborating
with each other, pushing each other and their thinking. They had agency. It wasn't just about using AI tools in the form of magic school. It was about really pushing on what AI was saying and giving his feedback so that it was them
doing the thinking. Uh they had the opportunity to become better and have better skills because of it. And so I went over to your teacher, Miss Koreah, uh who I just want to give a shout out to to see what she wanted in the lesson.
And what I heard her say was the exact things that you guys said. I want my students to get more feedback. It allows me to do it quicker. Uh, and then I can spend the time going deeper with my students when I meet with them. I want my students to feel agency. That AI
isn't telling them what to do. They're actually just practicing and understanding what they should be doing. Uh, it helps. Uh, I want my students to be critical thinkers. And certainly each of you talked to me about something different you were thinking about. Um,
and it was very clear you use the word responsible multiple times to me. I want to be a responsible user. So, you know, I often feel like um when the adults get out of the way and the kids lead, we're just a much better society. Today, I
think you proved my point. Um I just a huge shout out to Miss Koreah. Um, but also to our students because you just did a fantastic job. Just thank you again the public private partnership I think Paul today you know it's not just about the work we will do
together in AI in this next generation with our students but it's also about setting a model of an alumni who comes back and actually recognizes the district from which he graduated and gives back to that district to make it better for the next generation. That's
really a huge gift you gave us today. So, thank you. >> Good morning, everybody. >> I had to sit down. It's a little hot in here. Um, I'm just so proud to be here, uh, as the district representative of the Elliott School, uh, as a proud BPS
alumni and as a proud UMass Boston alumni. Um, I want to thank Mayor Michelle Woo for her visionary leadership. We are so lucky to have her as mayor. Uh, Superintendent Skipper, Principal Tracy, you're amazing. Thank you for everything. Um, partners in state government, uh, we have State
Representative Erin Michaelitz who is here. And I know, uh, Senator Lydia Edwards sends her, um, sends her regards. Uh, I also want to thank partners in the private sector, Paul English. Thank you so much for helping to make today happen, for making today happen and partnership with all of us.
And most importantly, our incredible students. I just walk away so hopeful for the future because of what I see in you and the conversations that we had upstairs. Uh the mayor was talking about it. These kids were using language like cognitive ability and ethics and being
responsible. It just was amazing and and blew me away. So congratulations to the teachers and administrators here at at the Elliott School as well. Boston has always been a leader in technology and innovation and this initiative is demonstrating Boston as a pioneer city.
The fact that we are always leaning in to what's possible when we utilize technology to our benefit. As someone who is expecting soon, beyond just trying to figure out if we have enough diapers or if my curtains are correct in my nursery, which is a thing right now,
my husband and I talk about all the beautiful things that come with being a parent and all of the challenges, the unique and modern challenges of what it means to be a parent in the 21st century. And one of the topics that came up was how we create a kind, thoughtful,
empathetic human being who can think critically about the world around them without relying on a robot to tell them what to do, what to do, and how to feel. And so this public private partnership uh it helps ensure that all of our kids
have the tools and skills necessary to reach their highest potential um in this uh everchanging modern world which gives me some relief uh as as I lay my head at night. And so we are integrating AI competency into curriculums. So our kids
are set up for success because their growth is enhanced and not stunted by AI. they can think, design, imagine, and build a world for all of us with AI's assistance rather than its reliance. The last important point that I want to make
is that this announcement affirms our commitment to equity regardless of zip code. Now, every child will have access to the same tools and opportunities to compete in the 21st century. And that is again indicative of the leadership that we have here at the city. So, I want to
thank Mayor Woo, everybody, Superintendent Skipper, Principal Tracy, uh, for your visionary leadership. Boston is once again leading the way, not just in technology, but in opportunity. Thanks everyone. >> Well, once again, the mayor is making me
speak. Um I uh I wasn't aware of of as much of the details of what we were talking about today, but when the mayor uh and Tracy, two women who basically run part of my life, um tell me to come down here, uh I come down here and obviously uh you know because of I'm so proud of the the
relationship that uh where where the Elliott has gone and where we are today and and obviously you know the saying it publicly obviously we're going to be talking about this a lot over the next couple weeks here. Uh but Tracy has been um uh invaluable in terms of doing a lot, not just for the Elliott School,
but in terms of the entire neighborhood itself. Uh I've say it many times, our neighborhood would not be where it is today if it wasn't for Tracy's leadership uh and for her vision. Um I've just been happy to be a part of that ride uh for a lot of it. And so uh so when she says come down, you come I
come down. Uh and obviously the mayor uh my dear friend, someone who I've uh uh obviously loved watching grow in her job and and and continue to to be a leader uh and to and to as the as the counselor was saying, you know, we are known for being a leader. We are known for being
first here in Boston uh for many things whether it was back in Horus man days or today um uh every new initiative and new uh element that we bring to the city. Uh and that and that happens because of the leadership of Mayor Michelle Woo and uh today is no different. Um you know
public private partnerships are so critical to our growth. Uh we just can't we can't do it all alone uh in the public sector. We need we need we need help and Paul so thank you for for doing that uh for being a part of that uh and for taking the next step here uh and uh and embracing not just AI but embracing
that public private partnership going forward. Um and so I just you know I don't I don't know all the details of everything. I just, like I said, I just came down here. Uh, so I want to and I missed the I missed the uh some of the the stuff upstairs. Um, I probably they probably would have ran circles around me anyways. Uh, but I appreciate
everyone being here and I appreciate us uh us, you know, continuing to lead here uh in Boston and using all different examples to do so. So, thank you so much and congratulations. >> Is there a question or two on topic? Mayor, can you speak to what this course for the high schoolers may entail once
it's actually developed? >> Yeah, I'm I'm happy to speak to that a little bit. We're just developing it right now. The next step is we're um developing a set of AI fellows for the each of the high schools in Boston. There's about 25 high schools in Boston right now. They'll be trained this
summer on a curriculum develop with um Boston and with the new industry consortium that Ellen Rubin and I are putting together. And so the training will happen this summer and classes will begin in September. But uh keep just follow us and you'll see more specific about the curriculum. One thing I'll say about AI is the industry is changing
week by week. And so the curriculum that we start teaching in September will be different than what we're teaching in January because we always want to make sure that the students in Boston public schools understand both the framework and theory of AI as well as which specific technologies they want to might be useful to them in their job. So the
curriculum will have a foundation that'll stay the same, but the different tools will change semester to semester. >> Yeah. And I would just say that um we'll likely have students be part of that curriculum development because they actually know a lot more than we do at any given moment. So um this is just a
unique place where student agency I think can really play a big part. Um we also have uh a number of workforce development advisories and we'll also be touching base with them as well around critical need skills for pathway development for this. Uh we can see this
just growing as part of all of the pathways actually that we offer within career tech. >> Thank you so much everyone. Thanks for a picture with the kids and So if the Elliots Elliot teachers and students would come together so we can
have a nice amazing picture counselors. Come in.
