"How can we learn and use AI at the same time?": Participatory Design of GenAI with High School Students

Relevance: 7/10 5 cited 2025 paper

This paper reports on a participatory design workshop with 17 high school students to understand their concerns about generative AI in education and co-design solutions, focusing on issues like bias, misinformation, over-reliance, and academic dishonesty. The work yields design guidelines for educational technology developers based on student perspectives.

As generative AI (GenAI) emerges as a transformative force, clear understanding of high school students’ perspectives is essential for GenAI’s meaningful integration in high school environments. In this work, we draw insights from a participatory design workshop where we engaged 17 high school students—a group rarely involved in prior research in this area—through the design of novel GenAI tools and school policies addressing their key concerns. Students identified challenges and developed solut
