The world is moving fast. AI tools are rewriting how we work, create, and communicate, and for many, that is both exciting and a little unnerving. But what happens when you are not just navigating this change yourself, you are helping the next generation navigate it too?
That is exactly where the guests on latest episode of the COMPAS podcast, Creativity on Tap come in. (You’ll also find it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.)
Tim Brunelle is a strategist, creative leader, and educator who spends his days exploring the intersection of AI and human imagination. He is not here to sell you on the latest tech or warn you about it. He is here to help us ask better questions, use AI as a tool for curiosity, and stay rooted in the creative skills that make us human.
Mickey Jurewicz is a high school advisor and licensed visual arts teacher at Avalon School in Saint Paul. She is in the trenches with students every day, watching how they absorb new tools, adapt to change, and sometimes surprise even themselves with what they can make. Her stories are honest, funny, and a reminder that young people are far more adaptable than we give them credit for.
Together, they talk with host Frank Sentwali about:
- Why curiosity and craft matter more than ever in a tech-driven world
- How to prepare students for jobs that do not exist yet
- The role of art in teaching resilience and adaptability
- Ways AI can actually deepen, not replace, human creativity
This is not a doom and gloom conversation about robots taking over. It is an uplifting, real-world discussion about the ways we can meet change with imagination, courage, and a sense of play.
If you have ever wondered how to keep your creative spark alive in an AI-driven future, or how to help young people do the same, you will want to hear this episode.
