In this episode of Creativity on Tap, we explore how creativity can help us navigate the dizzying pace of technological change. Host Frank Sentwali is joined by two inspiring guests: Tim Brunelle, a strategist, creative leader, and educator at the intersection of AI and human imagination, and Mickey Jurewicz, a high school advisor and licensed visual arts teacher at Avalon School in Saint Paul.

Together, they unpack how students are adapting, imagining, and expressing themselves in an AI-driven world. From fostering curiosity and courage in the classroom to building the skills needed for creative problem-solving in uncertain times, this conversation is full of insight, humor, and hope for the future.

Whether you’re an educator, artist, technologist, or simply curious about where creativity is headed, this episode offers practical ideas and inspiring perspectives on how we can all stay resilient, and even thrive, in the age of AI.
