Teen Talk is a monthly, live-curated panel discussion driven by teens for teens. Providing a voice and platform for often voiceless young people is at the heart of this series. Teen Talk Ambassadors, who are chosen from Tulsa area high schools, select topics of interest to them and their peers, and rotate as host and panelists to bring those topics to life. The program aims to cultivate an interest in leadership, current events, and broadcast media among participating students as well as those who attend the live events or listen to the broadcasts.

The AI Future.
We are thrilled to partner with Urban Coders Guild for our next episode of Teen Talk! Our student panelists will discuss what an AI-driven future truly means to them. From the ethics of automation and data privacy to the potential for groundbreaking creative tools, teens will share their perspectives on how these advancements will impact their careers, communities, and identities. This isn’t just a tech discussion; it’s an exploration of how students feel growing up in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and AI. Join us for a candid look at the hopes, fears, and bold predictions of the next generation as they prepare for a future at the intersection of humanity and high tech.
