Our 8th graders got a hands-on look at AI in action! 🤖

Students in AI Literacy headed to Seneca One to meet our partners at Tech Buffalo, then toured 43 North for a dose of inspiration. At The Golisano Institute, they dug into AI programming and built AI agents to tackle real challenges.

Led by Director of Technology and Innovation Mrs. Braungart, these experiences show our students how innovation happens right here in Buffalo. Thank you to Tech Buffalo, 43 North, and The Golisano Institute for helping our Vikings explore what’s next!
