Marblehead Public Schools pilot concept for 2026-2027 planning
FAQ

Common questions from families and school stakeholders

These answers can be expanded into the live public website and adjusted with district policy language before launch.

Who is this program for?

The pilot is designed for a small group of motivated middle and high school students who want to learn how AI-supported products are designed and built.

Does a student need prior coding experience?

No for the middle school track. Some comfort with technology is helpful for high school students, but the admissions process values motivation and reliability alongside experience.

How is student privacy handled?

The MVP avoids storing unnecessary student data, uses parent consent, and is designed with FERPA-aware data minimization and role-based review in mind.

What does a student leave with?

Each student should complete portfolio-ready artifacts, a capstone presentation, and a stronger understanding of responsible AI use.
