Future Builders AI Lab™
Young people should be prepared to shape the future—not simply consume it.
Schools & youth programs · Grades 3–12Eight sessions of responsible AI, coding, and digital creation for grades 3–12, taught in three age-appropriate tracks and ending with a portfolio-ready project and a community showcase.
- 8 sessions
- One completed project
- 20–30 students
- Per cohort
- 3 age tracks
- Grades 3–5, 6–8, 9–12
- Supervised tools
- No personal student data
Age tracks
Three tracks, so the work fits the age in the room.
Grades 6–8
Makers & Questioners
Students build small digital projects while learning to question the tools they use — where data comes from, who is left out, and what responsible use looks like.
- How AI models learn from data
- Coding and digital creation with supervised tools
- Privacy, consent, and what not to share
- Bias, misinformation, and source checking
- Interviewing peers to define a real community need
Session length
60–75 minute sessions
Cohort
Up to 25 students, 1 facilitator + 1 classroom adult
Final project
A working prototype or media piece answering a community challenge, plus a short demo.
Session breakdown
Eight sessions, each with one clear outcome.
Activities change by track; the arc stays the same. Open a session to see what students do and what they walk out with.
Plain-language foundations, a live demonstration appropriate to the track, and a class agreement on how tools will be used for the rest of the program.
Curriculum, facilitation, safeguards, project structure, and evaluation are provided by CAI. All outcomes are proposed targets — no school, funder, sponsor, or completed cohort has been confirmed.

For parents and guardians
Questions families ask first.
The Lab is designed for grades 3 through 12, delivered in three separate tracks so a third grader and an eleventh grader are never in the same room doing the same activity.
Schools, sponsors, mentors, and funders welcome.
