What AI For Change Offers
We are a nonprofit that aims to teach high school and Middle School students the thory and implementation behind some of the most important AI algorithms spanning the feilds of natural language processing, generative AI, computer vision in an easy to understand way for high school and middle school students and teach them how to make impactful solutions through their own research projects using them to solve global problems. There is currently a big lack of AI classes in public school systems across the world made for middle and high school students with those existing charging extremely high fees for participation or requiring a very high level of mathematics such as calculus, or college level statistics as a prerequisite. AI For Change was founded on the notion of giving the opportunity for all high school and middle school students to be able to learn the latest and most impactful AI algorithms that are driving today's world with only a level of algebra 1 of mathematics required
What We Teach Students- Allowing Students To Get A Full Understanding and Be Able To Implement Of Some Of the Most Important and Powerful AI Algorithms Within Code Without Needing To Learn Complex Mathematics
- Teaching Students How To Conduct Their Own Research Projects On A Topic Of Intrest Using AI Algorithms and Principles of Experimental Design
- Teaching students how to identify a problem and create an innovative solution to it using AI technology
- Teacahing Middle and High School Students One of the Worlds Most In Demmand Skills At A Time When Very Few Resources That are Tailored To Them And Are Free For Learning This Skill Exist

Our Impact
We have chapters in 30+ states and 5 countries around the world and have hosted 150+ workshops. We believe that your income and the part of the world you are from should not limit what you can learn. In a fast changing world where AI is making the big leap we are helping to teach more students about how it works and how they can use it to suceed and allow others to in today's world. We have taught 1200+ students around the world about artificial intelligence. Some of the countries we have worked in include the US, Canada, India, Turkey and Vietnam. Our mentors have also created virtual outreach events to teach Ukranian, Israel and Palestine refugees programing and we have raised $6728 for Ukrainian refugees to get access to technology and $4562 for refugees from Israel and Palestine to get acess to technology through computer, phone and tablet donations in the USA and in Canada.

Common Questions
-
What kinds of projects Do Students Do In Every Section?
Students get to do projects using the topic in each section to be able to solve a real world problem, for example a project that a student can choose to do after learning about GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) is a project about detecting deep fake images of famous people and building an application that can allow anyone to drop a file that contains an image of a famous person to detect wheather or not it is a deepfake.
-
What Do You Cover In the Workshops
We cover anything relating to artificial intelligence such as the structure of different very important AI algorithims to the impact of AI on the society.
-
How long do the workshops last?
Workshops always last between 1.5 hours and 4 hours.
-
Do I need to have any coding expirience to become a mentor?
Yes coding expirience is required to become a mentor, if you become a mentor you will help other students learn about artificial intelligence algorithims, their impact on society and creating projects. You should have knowlege in a language such as Python, R, Java or C++ to become a mentor.
-
Do I Need to Have a Very Powerful Computer To Be Able to build the AI projects?
While a powerful computer definitely helps it is not neccessary to run programs using AI algorithims. On more powerful compuuters the algorithims run quicker but we awkwnolege that not everyone has access to very powerful technology, and there are different cloud services you can use to run your AI model on if your computer takes too long to be able to finish running your projects. These resources are included in our ciriculum.
