Our approach

Impact-focused AI program, strengthening community, career and human agency.

Our project-based program helps students build solutions for their own communities and overcome the barriers to agency.

  1. 01

    Spot a real problem

    Talk to the people it affects and log what they actually struggle with.

  2. 02

    Build a working solution with AI

    Plan it, then build a real app step by step, with no prior coding.

  3. 03

    Show the impact

    Test it with the people it serves and report what changed.

What our fellows built and said

It’s less ‘I’m just vibe coding, just create it.’ It’s more: I’m the manager, and I have a super smart friend.
All these ideas I’ve had, I can actually go ahead and make them now.
I appreciated the freedom to build it myself.
AI would have still felt unreachable, untouchable if I hadn’t done this program. Now that I’ve actually used it to accomplish a goal, it’s like: this isn’t crazy.
