7 PM ET | 4 PM PT |
| | When it comes to screens and teens, it can feel like a battle. You’ve read the books. You’ve scoured the data. So, what’s left? How about asking the teens themselves? Featuring digital wellness ambassador Aliza Kopans, author Amy Crouch, and special guest Max Stossel from the Center for Humane Technology, our young adult leaders offer a fresh perspective: one backed by their personal experiences as youth growing up in a digital age. Discover how teens really feel about social media, phone use, and screen time. Connect the dots between the business of big tech and teens' personal experiences with technology. Parents and teens will come away with new strategies for having productive, meaningful conversations around tech. Can't attend live? Sign up here to receive the recording when it is available. |
| | Featuring... Amy Crouch: Amy is a student at Cornell University studying linguistics, English, and anything else she can fit into her schedule. She loves to cook, climb mountains, and chat about books. Amy is the author of My Tech-Wise Life alongside her father, Andy Crouch. Aliza Kopans: Aliza, a senior in high school, hopes to contribute a youth perspective regarding the journey to navigate technology, creating change towards a human—not screen—focused world. Aliza is a Teen Advisory Board member for the Children’s Screen Time Action Network. Aliza co-created the Dear Parents resource as part of her internship with Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Max Stossel: Max is a Youth & Education Advisor for the Center for Humane Technology, an organization of former tech insiders and CEOs dedicated to realigning technology with humanity’s best interests. Before joining CHT, he ran social for multinational brands, and later worked for a social media company where he designed some of the same notification structures to distract people that he now criticizes. Max has spoken with thousands of students, parents, and educators around the world. |
