AI Literacy Meets Real World Learning
Tuesday August 4, 2026 9:30am - 10:20am CDT
 Real World Learning's Market Value Assets — Client Connected Projects, internships, entrepreneurial experiences, and industry credentials — are designed to give students authentic, skills-based experiences that connect learning to life beyond the classroom. AI literacy belongs in that same space.


Presenters will share how AI literacy competencies, including, evaluating AI-generated content, understanding how generative and agentic AI tools work, recognizing bias, and using AI ethically in professional contexts, align naturally with the skills RWL already prioritizes: problem-solving, professional communication, critical thinking, and student agency.


A centerpiece of the session is a model of cross-sector collaboration between a higher education faculty member and a K–12 partner educator. Presenters will share the idea of embedding AI literacy into a Client Connected Project, adding a layer of intentional AI skill-building that prepares students not just for the project but for the AI-enabled workplaces they are entering. This model is replicable, and attendees will leave with the tools to adapt it in their own districts and classrooms.
