• AI Without the Hype

  On May 28th at 6:00 p.m., the Westbrook Board of Education will host a community conversation about artificial intelligence- what it is and the real world impact on our day to day lives as the technology becomes more available and accessible.

  We welcome back Westbrook High School graduate, Mr. Lon Seidman (Class of 1994), a consumer technology journalist, who will lead and facilitate the conversation about AI for our community. 

  This event is free and open to our Westbrook staff, parents and guardians, and community members. This is an opportunity for our community to learn about artificial intelligence and to begin community conversations through that learning process.
