Learn About AI: Informative Workshops
May 01, 2026

Fond du Lac High School students recently formed a Students for AI Awareness (SAIA) club. The club was created in “response to excessive use by both the student and faculty populations.” SAIA recognized that AI is harmful to the environment, the job market, human creativity, and more, so the club began with the intention to host events related to AI scam protection, the spread of AI misinformation, and the negative effects of using AI. With just a few weeks remaining in the academic year, they reached out to CSA to host their first educational event at the motherhouse. The event is open to the public with a special invitation for sisters and associates.
Tuesday, May 5, 2026 | 5:30-7:30 PM
Founders Hall
CSA Motherhouse, 320 County Rd K, Fond du Lac
This in-person only event will educate on the negative impacts of generative AI usage along with how to spot it in your news, social media videos, and messages. Pizza dinner will be provided. The SAIA club will showcase their research, campaigning strategies, and their hopes for the future. We hope you'll come to learn and support this audience of young engaged educators!
Follow up what you learn at the SAIA event by joining Faith In Place for the May Monthly call May 14 at 6 p.m. CT/7 p.m. ET.
