How can AI help students engage more deeply with scientific literature without replacing critical thinking? As part of our Summer Collaborations program, this virtual workshop explores human-centered, ethical approaches to using AI as a reading assistant for primary STEM literature. Participants will develop practical strategies, classroom-ready resources, and assessment approaches that support evidence-based reasoning, scientific inquiry, and student confidence while preserving student responsibility for interpretation and judgment.
We look forward to your participation in these community-driven conversations and learning opportunities. Contact workshops@acsouth.edu with questions.
