Building the AI-Ready Generation: Skills, Mindsets, and Systems That Scale
By 2030, 30% of today’s jobs could be disrupted by AI — yet many high school students have never used AI tools in the classroom. This keynote explores what it means to be part of an AI-ready generation, and how schools, employers, and communities can evolve to meet this moment. Lindsey Dixon, a national leader in career education and AI innovation, shares real-world examples of students using AI tools like KnoPro to solve problems and develop future-ready skills. Attendees will also hear from students themselves about the mindsets they’re building. This session is not about adding AI to a lesson — it’s about transforming systems to scale readiness.
Attendee Takeaways:
- A clear definition of “AI-ready” and what it means for students today
- Real examples of student-led AI projects and problem-solving
- Scalable strategies for embedding AI literacy and ethics
- Insights into student mindsets and how they confidently engage with AI
- Frameworks for cross-sector collaboration to build future-ready systems
