What is AI Literacy?
AI literacy is a set of foundational skills and competencies that enable individuals to understand how AI works, responsibly evaluate AI systems, and use AI effectively as a human-centered tool across various contexts, including learning, work, and civic applications, while adapting to its ongoing evolution1.

Playful Pathways to AI Literacy in Informal STEM (Part 1)
This webinar was presented on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025
Recording coming soon!
How can we build effective AI literacy programs in informal learning spaces?
This webinar was the first session in the two-part Playful Pathways to AI Literacy in Informal STEM series. This collaboration between the REVISE Center and the New York Hall of Science—facilitated by Antony Negron (NYSCI) and Pati Ruiz (REVISE)—featured four leaders in the field:
- Dorothy Bennett, Director of Creative Pedagogy, New York Hall of Science
- Azadeh (Azi) Jamalian, Founder, CEO, The GIANT Room
- Jessica Santana, Chief Executive Officer, America On Tech, Inc.
- Katrina Stevens, President and CEO, The Tech Interactive
Our panelists discussed their work and potential future directions for informal AI literacy program development and research. Participants had the opportunity to explore the current landscape, identify new ideas for collaborations and partnerships, and discover concrete strategies to establish and expand AI literacy programs in their local contexts.

Playful Pathways to AI Literacy in Informal STEM (Part 2)
Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025
10am – 1pm HST / 12pm – 1pm PST / 3pm – 4pm EST
This webinar is part 2 of our 2-part series, Playful Pathways to AI Literacy in Informal STEM and explores how informal STEM education (ISE) researchers, practitioners and community members are bringing artificial intelligence (AI) to life in fun, accessible ways across museums, science centers, and other informal learning spaces. Ari Krakowski and Eric Greenwald (Project: AI Behind Virtual Humans: Communicating the Capabilities and Impact of Artificial Intelligence to the Public through an Interactive Virtual Human Exhibit) and Dr. Brian Magerko (Project: Fostering AI Literacy through Embodiment and Creativity across Informal Learning Spaces), will share how their AISL projects have used play, storytelling, and hands-on activities to make AI approachable for learners of all ages. They’ll also talk about their research goals—what they’re trying to understand about how people learn, engage with, and make sense of AI in informal science spaces.
Join us to hear fresh ideas, insights, and lessons from our featured speakers!
Attendees are encouraged to watch the recording of part 1 prior to joining part 2.
