About Us
Our Story
What happens when the most powerful technology of our time is accessible to some but alien to others?
In Appalachian communities we saw this divide first hand, not just in income or access to devices, but in confidence, vocabulary, and opportunity. As AI systems became embedded in everything from job applications to healthcare to education, it became clear: AI literacy isn't optional, it's foundational.
Our founders, a collective of educators, technologists, and community organizers, created this non-profit to ensure that the benefits of AI don’t pass people by.
We believe that anyone — regardless of background — can learn to use, understand, and shape AI.
So, what have we done to help?
1. Created open-source resources used by 500+ schools to integrate AI literacy into their curricula.
2. Developed accessible AI training programs that have empowered over 10,000 learners from underserved communities.
3. Established mentorship networks connecting 2,000+ students with industry professionals for career guidance and hands-on AI experience.
