Bridging Tomorrow: FREE Generative Learning AI Education
The People's Money (2024-2025) Play your part: Your Money, Your Community, Your Vote!ation
We must address how the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative Learning is transforming our world. However, this technological shift also risks exacerbating existing disparities in underserved communities. Historically, these communities have faced significant barriers to accessing cutting-edge technology, leading to disparities in financial stability, healthcare, professional opportunities, and education. The digital divide in NYC is a pressing concern, with many low-income families unable to afford devices, internet, or AI-powered educational software. The consequences of this divide are far-reaching.
The digital literacy gap is generational and cumulative, with many parents and caretakers lacking the skills to guide their children's AI education. Unsupervised screen time can hinder cognitive development, language acquisition, and social skills. To address these challenges, we need to integrate Generative Learning AI into our education system. However, many schools, especially in underserved communities, lack the training, support, and infrastructure to do so. Consistent with the Mayor's NYC AI Action Plan, we aim to upskill educators and provide them with the necessary tools and resources. Our iVirtue AI platform offers a solution. By introducing AI education at an early age (Kindergarten through 5th grade), we can provide children with a head start in a rapidly evolving arena. It's time to redefine our approach to AI education and ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have access to the tools and resources they need to thrive.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Bridging Tomorrow: FREE Generative Learning AI Education for NYC's Young Students proposes bridging the AI digital divide through iVirtue partnerships with schools, families, and community organizations in alignment with NYC's AI Action Plan. Building on our successful two-year pilot at Dos Amigos Elementary, we've developed age-appropriate curriculum for K-4th grade students that integrates Generative AI into education. Our program concentrates on: - Parent and teacher training to guide appropriate AI technology use - Generative Art and Storytelling for grades 1-5, reinforcing core skills while fostering creativity - Mobile workshops bringing AI learning to underserved communities via equipped vans with digital devices and secure WiFi - STEAM-based activities preparing students for advanced technologies like robotics The program requires properly configured AI-optimized devices with age-appropriate safeguards and reliable connectivity. Through partnerships with local organizations across NYC's boroughs, we aim to expand access to AI education, supporting Chancellor Banks' vision of empowering young New Yorkers with responsible AI use for community benefit. We are a Manhattan-based. We currently teach at Dos Amigos and have children at Dos Amigos School in the Square, which is currently K-4th grade, but adding 5th grade in 2025. We'd like to sustain our current program and expand the success of our unique programs to other organizations and schools that could serve as potential partners for this proposal, as they align with its mission to address the digital divide in underserved communities.
