El Segundo High AI club presents student-led conference; students recognized for regional and international presentations
Summary
El Segundo High School's AI club was recognized at the board meeting for organizing a student-led AI conference and for presenting AI-integrated lesson plans at an international education event; Chevron sponsored the students' work, staff said.
El Segundo High School students who led a student-run artificial intelligence conference and presented at a public education event in San Diego were recognized by the El Segundo Unified School District Board of Education on May 13.
Marisa Janicek, introduced as the student AI club presenter, told the board the club organized its first student-led conference at El Segundo High School this year, bringing together educators and community leaders to discuss AI’s role in learning. The club also presented at an international education event in San Diego over spring break, where students shared AI-integrated lesson plans and videos.
Janicek said the work was volunteer-based and drew interest from educators and ed‑tech leaders; she told the board that attendees continued to ask for the students’ contact information after the San Diego presentations. The club’s work was presented under the mentorship of an AI instructional coach, Dr. Phong Yuzov, and the session noted sponsorship from Chevron.
District remarks at the recognition emphasized that the students “brought creativity, professionalism, and insight to a packed room of educators and ed tech leaders,” and that the presentations aimed to connect AI tools to human-centered learning rather than to replace instruction. The meeting record shows the board and superintendent praised the students for demonstrating “future-ready leadership” and for representing the district at an external conference.
The transcript does not include details about the conference agenda, the number of outside attendees in San Diego, or any grant funding tied to the presentations; those implementation or funding details were not discussed during the board time allotted to the recognition.
