Online Gambling and Youth
This lesson looks at the ways in which online gambling draws in youth and increases the risk that they will become problem gamblers.
Understanding AI and helping youth make the most of it
Everywhere we turn, we’re hearing about artificial intelligence (AI). We already know AI is all around us – algorithms are suggesting what to watch and tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney are being used to generate the content we’re seeing. But how many of us actually understand what algorithms even are? And if you’re a parent, guardian or teacher, are you prepared to teach youth how to use AI responsibly?
Addressing AI in the Classroom: Tips for Teachers
Teachers can play a critical role in educating their students about AI, even if they aren’t experts on it. By addressing AI in ways that are designed to build students’ skills and teach them about the pitfalls of relying too much on it, teachers can help build the next generation of citizens who are empowered with the skills necessary to succeed in a world infused with AI technology.
Talking to Youth about Online Gambling

It’s important to talk about it, though: research has found that family members' views about gambling are a major influence on how likely youth are to gamble.
