Help shape a safe, useful AI experience for young people ages 15 to 25.

Thank you for your participation.

As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms education, careers, and daily life, we are building a dedicated division at Industry Rockstar focused on empowering young people ages 15 to 25 to use AI safely, ethically, and strategically, rather than just consuming it or fearing it.

Hi, I am Linda Colasanti, a dyslexia specialist with over 15 years experience working with neurodiverse learners, a certified AI consultant and certified NLP practitioner, and I've taken on the role of leading this division.

The questions below are based on current research into how young people are actually using AI right now, not guesswork. We've listed our sources at the end. Your feedback as a parent or advocate is invaluable, and your answers will directly shape how we teach our students so that we directly meet everyone's needs.

Keeping students safe, protecting their data, and teaching responsible AI use are our top priorities.

Question 15 of 20

If we could design this exactly the way your family would want it, what would make it genuinely exciting for your child, something they'd want to attend rather than something you had to convince them to do?

Feel free to include how much time or money you would realistically be willing to put into it.
