"Just had a one-on-one in my AI Foundations class with a student who struggles with coding and attention span.
A few minutes in something clicked and he started outpacing me—experimenting on his own. His whole demeanor flipped. Confidence unlocked.
Moments like that are why I teach."

AI Foundations: Designing and Building with AI
The complete AI Foundations experience. In the first semester, students develop AI literacy, explore how computers and the internet work, examine cybersecurity, and analyze data. In the second semester, they learn JavaScript and build interactive web apps using AI as a creative partner. Together, the two semesters prepare students to design and shape AI-powered technologies with clarity, confidence, and care.
Teach one semester of the AI Foundations curriculum. We also offer state-aligned options for select states.
An introduction to the core principles and real-world applications of computer science and AI — problem solving, data, cybersecurity, networks, and the internet. Modular: units can be taught independently or as a full semester.
Students learn JavaScript from the ground up while using AI as a creative collaborator — writing and debugging real code, building interactive web apps, and developing the judgment to know when AI should help and when it shouldn't.
