One Object, Two Truths: Exploring AI, Bias, and Student Voice Through Design

At this interactive station, participants will explore how students use AI to investigate topics, analyze perspectives, and design artifacts that communicate multiple interpretations of the same reality. Through a maker-based ESL project, learners act as researchers, synthesizers, and storytellers, using AI to generate ideas, compare viewpoints, and refine their message. Attendees will engage with student-created examples and experiment with guided prompts to experience how meaning can shift through design, language, and interaction. The station emphasizes student agency, critical thinking, and ethical AI use, showing how learners can question bias rather than reproduce it. Educators will leave with practical strategies, adaptable structures, and inspiration to implement AI-driven, hands-on learning experiences that promote deeper understanding and authentic communication across disciplines.
