Is AI the great equalizer—or the next big divider—in education? In this thought-provoking episode of The We Are All Awesome Show powered by WiddyUP, Carter and Chris unpack the fast-evolving role of artificial intelligence in shaping the classroom and redefining college readiness. From generative AI in lesson planning to students leveraging ChatGPT, the discussion explores how access (or lack thereof) to these tools is deepening the digital divide and forcing educators and families to reconsider what success looks like.
The hosts tackle bold questions: Is traditional college becoming obsolete? Should we prioritize real-world learning, soft skills, and apprenticeships over standardized test scores? And how do we shift the mindset of parents and educators to support students in discovering their own unique paths? With Stanford’s Chris Agnew leading the charge on AI in education, this episode offers valuable insights for students, teachers, and parents navigating the future of learning.

What you’ll learn:
- Access is Everything AI has the power to personalize learning, but without equal access, it risks deepening the digital divide between students who have resources and those who don’t.
- College Isn’t the Only Path Real-world learning, apprenticeships, and trade skills are rising as powerful alternatives to the traditional four-year college model—especially for students whose strengths lie outside standardized academics.
- Mindset Over Mandates The biggest shift needed. Parental and educator mindset. Encouraging kids to discover and pursue their own path—rather than follow outdated expectations—is key to future-ready success.
