Designing the Future of AI: Using Design Thinking to Engage Students as Co-Creators of Institutional AI Strategy
Friday October 16, 2026 3:25pm - 4:25pm EDT
Blaustein Hood Room (First floor)
As colleges and universities grapple with the opportunities and tensions surrounding artificial intelligence, many institutional conversations occur without substantial student input. At Gettysburg College, we sought to address this gap by inviting students to become co-designers of our emerging AI initiatives through a series of design thinking workshops titled Designing the Future of AI at Gettysburg College. These sessions guided students through empathy-building, problem framing, ideation, and rapid prototyping activities designed to surface their experiences, concerns, hopes, and ideas regarding AI's role in teaching and learning.In this interactive workshop, participants will experience an adapted version of the process used with Gettysburg students while examining insights generated through these sessions. Attendees will leave with practical facilitation strategies, adaptable activity structures, and a replicable model for engaging students as partners in shaping institutional responses to AI. Rather than designing for students, participants will explore what becomes possible when institutions design with them.
