Allen ISD families can pick from eight free sessions covering artificial intelligence, e-bike safety, emergency bleeding control and more at the district's fall Community Engagement Night on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at the STEAM Center.

The conference-style event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at 1680 Ridgeview Drive, according to the district's event announcement. Each attendee chooses two sessions, which run back-to-back: Session 1 from 6:15 to 6:55 p.m. and Session 2 from 7:05 to 7:45 p.m.

The lineup includes Dr. Ryan Smith presenting "AI and Kids: What Every Parent Should Know," the City of Allen covering e-bike risks and safety tips, and Allen ISD Executive Director of Technology Nelson Orta leading a workshop on cybersecurity, passwords and internet safety.

Two offerings are available only in the first time slot: a sports injury prevention session from Children's Health and a "Stop the Bleed" training led by Allen ISD nursing staff. Stop the Bleed is a national program operated by the American College of Surgeons that teaches bystanders three techniques to control life-threatening bleeding.

AISD Chef Anna Reynolds will demonstrate healthy, budget-friendly cooking in both slots. The Grant Halliburton Foundation, a Dallas-based nonprofit focused on youth mental health, is presenting sessions on healthy peer relationships and on managing stress and burnout. Students and staff will also lead tours of the STEAM Center facility.

The district's spring engagement night drew more than 500 guests to the same venue.

Limited childcare is available for children ages 3 to 12 during the session blocks, but early registration is required. The district has not published a specific childcare registration deadline. Families can RSVP through the district's event page.
