For parents
If you're here because your student mentioned this program, or you found it while looking into something for them — here's what you actually need to know.
What this program actually is
This is hands-on AI literacy for middle and high schoolers, built around a live mentor relationship, not a self-paced video course you sign up for and forget about. Every two weeks, your student joins a live session with a real mentor over Zoom. Between sessions, they work through coursework at their own pace, built around what they're actually interested in. By the end, they'll have a finished project in hand — not just a certificate saying they showed up.
It's genuinely free
There's no cost to join, no hidden fees, and no credit card required at any point. This program runs as a pilot, and covering the cost for every student is the point — not a promotional discount that runs out. Your student also won't need to buy any software or subscriptions; every tool used throughout the program has a genuinely free tier available.
Safety & consent
A student account can't be used for anything until a parent or guardian has given verifiable consent — collected in person, on paper, at your student's first live session. Until then, the account is inert. We also collect the minimum information necessary: we never store a student's email address, phone number, date of birth, home address, or photo, anywhere in the system. You, the parent or guardian, are our point of contact for everything — not your child. Staff accounts are secured with mandatory two-factor authentication, and we don't use student information for advertising or sell it to anyone. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
How to get started
The interest form is the actual first step, not just a quiz to browse — it's what gets your student on our radar. It takes a few minutes, asks about your student's grade level and interests, and includes a way for us to reach you. Someone from the program will follow up with you after you submit it.
