Agenda:

Agenda:

😀 9:00am - 9:30am: Students arrive
We will be there to greet students, hand out name badges & “AI Innovator” sticker packs.

🌞 9:30am - 9:45am: Warm up activity: AI Myths & Realities
Interactive icebreaker where students guess whether AI “facts” are true or false, e.g., “AI can replace all jobs” — myth!

💬 9:45am - 10:00am: Keynote: The Future of AI in the Enterprise
Slalom professionals deliver a brief, inspiring talk on AI’s impact across industries (finance, healthcare, retail), the key challenges (bias, governance), and the skills essential for the future.

🧊 10:00am - 11:30am: Hands-on ICE workshop
Students learn the basics of AI in business — from identifying high-value use cases to considering ethics, privacy, and change management. Use a “design thinking” style framework tailored to AI adoption.

🥪 11:30am - 11:50am: Lunch break (fresh sandwiches or pitas!)

🏢 11:50am - 12:15pm: Office tour
Slalom reps take small groups on a tour showcasing innovation spaces, client project war rooms, and AI team areas.

💡 12:15pm - 1:15pm: ICE Challenge: AI for Good in the Enterprise
Students work in teams to design an AI solution to solve a real-world enterprise challenge (e.g., improving supply chain efficiency, reducing carbon footprint, enhancing customer experience). Mentors from Slalom circulate to offer guidance.

🏆 1:15pm - 1:45pm: Team Presentations: AI Solutions Pitch
Each team pitches their AI concept in a “Shark Tank” style 3-minute presentation. Slalom judges provide feedback on innovation, feasibility, and ethical considerations.

🍬 1:45pm - 2:00pm: Wrap-Up & Certification
Distribute “AI Innovator” digital badges + printed certificates, take group photos, and share quick tips on next steps to learn AI skills.
