These 1-hour deep dive events feature 3-4 guest experts, 3-4 student interviews, and a live Q&A session with Josh, ensuring that no parent leaves without having their questions answered.

This enables districts to effectively reach and engage with their community, while empowering parents and students with the knowledge and tools to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.
