Teens Talk AI was a three-day whirlwind where youth in New Orleans took a closer look at how AI is part of their lives. Students unpacked how they’re using AI tools already, where AI feels helpful (or stressful), what they still don’t understand about the technology, and how they hope AI might show up in the future. This episode brings together highlights from the interviews and narratives recorded during the week. You can also check out the full interviews in your podcast feed. Enjoy!

The Be Loud Radio Hour is a podcast made by kids for everyone! At Be Loud Studios we help kids turn screens into tools for self expression and courageous collaboration. Being “loud” means showing up, creating something different, being assertive. 

Youth need more space to practice their “loudness,” especially in our digital world. Whether it be with a microphone or camera, we trust youth to be creators (not just consumers) –their opinions, ideas, and perspectives are valid and must be expressed.

Be Loud exists to amplify kid voice in a time where too many youth are silenced. Kids have things to say. We want to give them the platform to not only share their stories, but to confidently broadcast them to the larger community. By doing so, we believe that they will feel affirmed and confident to become more active changemakers, listeners, and culture bearers. 

Thanks for listening, and remember to BE LOUD!
