In 2024–2025, the Northwest Independent School District Instructional Technology team, in partnership with Curriculum & Instruction, launched an AI Student Focus Group to engage students aged 13+ in exploring AI ethically and responsibly. These resources - and the group’s outcomes - are now available to all NISD staff and may be adapted by other districts to support their own student initiatives.
