Students build healthy, intentional and informed relationships with AI by understanding its potential, limitations and ethics.
Partnership with AI
AI Tool Mastery
Students develop technical skills with specific AI tools for ideating, creating, coding, and problem-solving, learning to choose the right tool for each task.
Real World Problem Solving
Students work on projects that tackle real challenges and provide commercial solutions, amplifying human creativity through an ethical AI partnership.
Knowledge into Action
Students develop entrepreneurial thinking by creating pitches, learning to communicate ideas like innovators.
AI Project Academy is the first after-school program that offers Project Based, AI powered learning. We blend educator-guided classes with kid-safe AI tools so children don’t just learn about AI, they use it responsibly to create real projects. Along the way, they build critical thinking, teamwork, creativity, and ethics.
