Poetry in the Age of AI - Silicon Valley Reads In-Person
Burlingame-Hillsborough Youth Poet Laureate Sierra Elman invites teens to a workshop to discuss, explore and experiment with how AI affects poetry and its future.
Participants will also have an opportunity to write poetry and share their work. No experience with poetry or AI is needed. Please bring a laptop and your creativity!
A limited number of Chromebooks can be provided by the library if needed on a first come first serve basis.
This program is for grades 6 to 12.
Registration is required, but walk-ins are welcome if space is available.
