A new club focusing on generative artificial intelligence (AI) met seven times in two months. Youth in grades 5–8 journeyed into the world of AI through storytelling, art, games and more. They gained hands-on experience with AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL‑E and explored how AI is impacting our world and shaping the future. This program was piloted in Lancaster County by Extension Specialist Brad Barker and University of Nebraska–Lincoln doctoral student Mackayla Kelsey (pictured helping a 4‑H’er).
