    Describe the challenge you want to address:
    Bridging Tomorrow: FREE Generative Learning AI Education for NYC's Young Students addresses 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.\nHistorically, 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.\nThe 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.\nTo 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.\nOur 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.\n
    What is the solution to the challenge?
    We propose 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.\n\nOur program concentrates on:\n- Parent and teacher training to guide appropriate AI technology use\n- Generative Art and Storytelling for grades 1-5, reinforcing core skills while fostering creativity\n- Mobile workshops bringing AI learning to underserved communities via equipped vans with digital devices and secure WiFi\n- STEAM-based activities preparing students for advanced technologies like robotics\n\nThe 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.\nHere are five organizations and schools in underserved communities in Brooklyn that could partner with your initiative:\n ●●● \n1. Brownsville Community Development Corporation (BCDC)\nA key stakeholder in the Brownsville area, BCDC provides resources for youth and families, including educational and health initiatives. They can support hosting mobile workshops and connecting with local families.\n ●●● \n2. P.S. 156 Waverly School\nLocated in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this elementary school serves a predominantly low-income student population. Partnering with P.S. 156 could help integrate generative learning programs into existing educational frameworks.\n ●●● \n3. CAMBA\nOperating across Brooklyn, CAMBA supports low-income residents with education, job training, and youth development services. They can provide venues for workshops and assist in outreach to underserved communities.\n ●●● \n4. Brooklyn Public Library (Central and Branch Locations)\nLibraries such as the Brownsville or Flatbush branches of the Brooklyn Public Library are vital community hubs. They offer free digital resources and could serve as venues for your mobile Generative AI Learning Workshops.\n ●●● \n5. The HOPE Program\nBased in Downtown Brooklyn, this organization offers training and education programs for adults and youth, focusing on building sustainable skills. They could collaborate to involve older students or parents in the generative AI training programs.\n ●●● \nThese organizations and schools are well-positioned to help bridge the digital divide by providing access to their networks and facilities while supporting program implementation in underserved Brooklyn communities.\n
