Students First Tour
The Students First Tour keeps student leaders from this summer’s AI Student Senate in the conversation, and invites new young people to join them. It builds on the STUDENT FIRST Act, the student-written framework approved at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in July.
Day of AI is collaborating with the EMK Institute and MIT RAISE. AASA, The School Superintendents Association, is sharing the Act with its network of more than 10,000 school leaders.

Student Senate
What should the rules for AI in schools actually be? Let students decide.
In this project-based curriculum, students step into the role of U.S. Senators to investigate AI in education, research the perspectives of students, educators, families, and administrators, and develop their own proposals for school AI policy. Students draft, debate, revise, and defend their proposals while building AI literacy, civic knowledge, communication, and critical-thinking skills.
