Cubberley Lecture Series and School's In LIVE present: 
An evening with Sam Wineburg
Professor emeritus, author, and co-founder of the Digital Inquiry Group

What do young people need to navigate the digital world? How can families and educators support their journey toward becoming thoughtful consumers of information and responsible global citizens? How does AI help or hinder these efforts? Join Denise Pope, Dan Schwartz, and Sam Wineburg for a live recording of the GSE's award-winning School's In podcast and a panel discussion exploring these timely questions.

“In an age when we meet the world through a screen, creating an informed citizenry is neither a regulatory nor a technological challenge. It’s an educational one." — Sam Wineburg
