The Rotary Club of St. Croix Harborside will launch its first community clinic on artificial intelligence next Saturday, bringing together experts to help adults support children in a technology-driven world.
The workshop takes place from 10 a.m. to noon on October 10 at the Rotary Club of St. Croix West. Aimed at parents, guardians, educators, and youth mentors, the session carries the title "How to Set AI Guardrails for Your Children."
According to the Rotary, the clinic aims to provide adults with actionable guidance so that children can engage with AI responsibly, keep their personal information secure, establish appropriate tech habits, build stronger reasoning abilities, and feel safe discussing troubling online encounters with trusted adults.
Three panelists will lead the discussion. Michael François teaches programming, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence as an assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of the Virgin Islands. Attorney Patricia Lynn Pryor previously served as acting deputy attorney general and headed the White Collar Crime and Public Corruption Unit. Rashida Lester works as a school and family counselor, drawing on her background in child and family support to address emotional wellness and thoughtful technology practices.
Esther Gordon-David will facilitate the two-hour session, steering the conversation toward practical insights and community questions rather than formal lectures. Participants are welcome to bring concerns about AI, online privacy, digital safety, healthy boundaries, and responsible technology use.
The Rotary described this as the opening event in a planned series of AI Community Clinics. Additional workshops are scheduled roughly every six weeks, each addressing practical artificial intelligence issues relevant to residents.
