Our CJUSD Chats podcast highlights their message of belonging and the impact of Think Together’s diverse learning activities, which give students opportunities to explore their interests, express their creativity, and build leadership skills. We are proud of these students for speaking up for themselves and others, and grateful to the Think Together team for supporting them as they learn, connect, and lead! 🎙️✨

CJUSD families celebrated the conclusion of our three-part AI Family Workshop Series with an exciting, hands-on AI Expo! Parents and students self-selected from interactive learning experiences designed to build AI literacy, including Understanding AI, AI and Well-Being, Google’s Teachable Machine, NotebookLM Flashcards, AI with iPads, and more.

One of the biggest highlights was “Flip the Script with AI,” led by Colton High School’s Graphic Communications CTE students. Families used artificial intelligence to transform negative self-concepts into powerful, positive affirmations—an engaging experience that demonstrated how technology can support creativity, confidence, and well-being.

Our CJUSD Chats podcast captures parents’ reflections about what they learned, how their understanding of AI grew, and how they plan to use these tools moving forward. We are proud of our CJUSD AI All-Stars for embracing curiosity, learning together, and preparing for an AI-powered future! 💡💻✨

Listen to the podcast and hear directly from our families about their AI learning journey!
