Helping young people think critically about the AI shaping their lives.

Youth AI Literacy Pathways builds accessible, honest AI education for students — starting with the question too many curricula skip: whose experience is this technology actually built for?

"Young people deserve to question the AI systems shaping their world — not just use them."

— Sarah Higashio Gocsei, Founder

Our Mission

AI literacy shouldn't depend on which school you happen to attend.

We design workshops, discussion guides, and curriculum that help students not only use AI tools, but understand how they're built, whose data trains them, and where bias can quietly take root — especially for the young people who will inherit these systems.

More about our story
Equity first
Free, accessible programming designed for students regardless of the resources their school has.
Critical thinking
We teach students to question AI outputs, not just accept them — including where bias can hide.
Responsible use
Grounded in research, not hype — a clear-eyed look at both the potential and the risks of AI.
Youth voice
Built by a young person, for young people — with students shaping the curriculum from day one.
What we're building

Three ways we're bringing AI literacy to students

01

Workshops & Curriculum

Hands-on sessions and lesson plans that walk students through how AI models are trained — and where bias can enter the process.

02

Discussion & Research Circles

Student-led conversations grounded in real research on AI bias, giving young people the vocabulary to ask better questions.

03

School & Community Partnerships

Working with teachers and student groups to bring AI literacy content into classrooms that don't yet have it.

"AI is being trained on the world as it is — biases included — and it's shaping opportunities for the generation that will grow up alongside it. If we want that to change, students need to understand how it works early, not after the fact."
