AI is changing how students learn, create, and make decisions. But the answer isn’t more detectors, blue books, or extra screen time.
It’s giving young people the skills to understand who they are, how to make decisions when using AI, and how to create work they’re proud of.

The Native Myth
Everyone is saying this: My students are racing ahead with AI, and I need to catch up. But that’s exactly what people said twenty years ago when they called kids “digital natives.” And we saw how that turned out.
Digital
AI
Students may be using AI, but without critical thinking, ethical judgment, and real-world skills, they won’t be prepared for the academic, career, and life challenges ahead.
What students need now is your guidance in three human strengths that AI cannot replace:
The strength that helps students understand themselves, their values, their voice, and the direction they want to grow.
Integrity is the strength that helps students slow down, think clearly, and use AI as a teammate without letting it replace their thinking.
Impact is the strength that helps students build, create, and contribute, using AI as a tool to extend their abilities, not substitute for them.
Self-awareness and confidence
and...The confidence to graduate truly AI-ready
Students learn who they are, what they value, and how to recognize their own strengths.
Clear, ethical decision-making with AI
They learn how to slow down, think critically, and use AI responsibly, not as a shortcut.
Real-world communication and problem-solving
Students practice expressing their ideas clearly, exploring multiple perspectives, and following through on work they can explain, defend, and be proud of.

I've had the great opportunity of working with Designing Schools to build my LinkedIn account as a sophomore in high school. She was able to help me envision who I am, what I’m about, and to appropriately showcase my work on LinkedIn. Sabba is an expert in providing an organized structure (she calls it Design Thinking) that guides you toward transforming your resume into an online portfolio that allows you to present yourself to future employers, coworkers, and collaborators. She helped me to hone my voice and now thanks to her, I have the ability to demonstrate my skills more confidently and and promote my business and volunteer efforts more effectively.

Creating a portfolio early on was invaluable in developing professional experiences. The first thing most people do is look you up on LinkedIn to see who you are and what you care about so a solid online presence is crucial to success in any field. I am very grateful for getting a head start and believe anyone can position themselves for the role they want.

This experience not only taught me how to network effectively and build a professional online presence, but it opened my eyes to the value of the title ‘Student.’ As a high schooler living in a rapidly advancing technological world, I believe it is essential for my education to stay ahead of the curve. I now realize that everyday activities like attending a club meeting or volunteering at a community event are chances to connect with new people and build my network. The skills I have learned in this course will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to me in my future endeavors, and I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to take it.
