Afterschool Webinar:

The STEM Talk: AI All In

Thursday, Apr 2, 2026 12:00 PM ET

The federal government is sending a clear and consistent signal: AI readiness must be built across education, workforce, and community systems—at the same time. In Episode 12: All In On AI, Della Cronin, Anita Krishnamurthi, Leslie Brooks, and Jenny Frank unpack what that means for STEM ecosystems.

From NSF's $11M teacher investment and the FINDERS Foundry opportunity to the Department of Labor's broad AI literacy push and Workforce Pell's move toward implementation, the panel covers the full federal landscape—and asks the critical question: will afterschool and out-of-school time programs be included?

If you work at the intersection of STEM education, workforce development, and community learning, this episode is your briefing.
