Our program
Not a typical AI program.
Typical AI program: Prompt tricks and tool tours
Human-agency focused
We focus on impact skills so that students drive AI rather than being driven by AI.
Typical AI program: Toy exercises
Real impact-driven projects
Students develop real technological solutions (apps) that solve real problems.
Typical AI program: Videos and quizzes
Our platform, SCOPE
An online impact project platform to learn, develop project outputs and receive feedback from a real person.
Typical AI program: Theory without practice
Pragmatic curriculum
Designed from processes used at Harvard, MIT and a global consulting firm, focused on impact.
More about SCOPE
Impact project platform with step-by-step support
SCOPE breaks down impact projects into smaller steps with plenty of guidance as participants find and tackle problems close to them using AI tools.
Problems our fellows found & tackled
Each started with a problem close to home. Tap a card to see the app.
In their words
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.
I only used ChatGPT beforehand, solely to ask questions. The way I use AI now has changed drastically.
All the exercises were very planned. They have a practical reason.
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.
This is exactly the kind of thinking I want to have more of.
There was something about the workout app I was using that was absolutely bugging me, and I thought: now I can code. This is something I can build for myself.
The feedback gives the freedom back to the student. It gave me an approach, a mindset I could take into my conversations.
I appreciated the freedom to build it myself.
