On December 8, 2025, the AI and Robotics Clubs hosted an exciting Hour of AI! Manson High School students teamed up with elementary students to explore the world of artificial intelligence. Using activities from Code.org and SchoolAI, students discovered how generative AI can create music, drawings, and even rap songs — including some sweet tracks about Manson Elementary School. Our young learners practiced writing effective prompts and got a glimpse of how AI can shape their futures. Most importantly, everyone had a great time learning, creating, and imagining what’s possible.
The creators of tomorrow.
