Participating in the AI for Youth program gave me the resources I needed to introduce advanced technological concepts into the classroom in an accessible way. The mentoring we received helped both me and my students understand that artificial intelligence is not just a theoretical subject, but also a practical tool that can generate real solutions for our community. Teacher, Nicolae Grigorescu National College, Campina This project gave us a clear perspective on how artificial intelligence algorithms work and, more importantly, taught us how to use them ethically and effectively. Developing our own project, from idea to implementation, was an essential step in understanding the innovation process and how technology can support entrepreneurial initiatives. Student, Tudor Vianu National College of Computer Science, Bucharest responsibility and environment The experience with JA programs within the Eco-nomy for Your Community course was very useful and motivating, offering students the opportunity to learn through practical and interactive activities. Students became more engaged, more environmentally responsible, and more interested in community initiatives. I noticed an increase in teamwork, creativity, and their willingness to par- ticipate in projects with a positive impact on the community. Teacher, Duiliu Zamfirescu Technological High School As a result of participating in the Eco-nomy for Your Community course, I noticed that students became more aware of the environmental issues around them and improved their budgeting skills thanks to the financial education concepts they learned. Throughout the year, students kept journals to plan their expenses and came up with new ideas as part of the school’s environmental patrol, which contributed to increasing their sense of responsibility toward the environment and the com- munity. Teacher, Andrei Saguna National College The students were delighted by the activities focused on Responsibility and the Environment, which helped them identify local issues and solutions they can put into practice. They also applied the knowledge they gained to economics and communication courses, and the practical content, interactive activities, and the JA Learn platform were highly appreciated. JA programs contribute to career guidance, personal development, academic motivation, and self-confidence. I am delighted to take part in these programs because they are accessible, innovative, and help students discover new skills. Teacher, Dionisie Pop Martian Economic High School, Alba Iulia, Alba 95
