Understand AI before you decide what it should do in your school.

Research-informed AI education for school leaders, teachers, students and parents. We help your community see what AI can and cannot do, so the decisions you make are well informed and your own.

Clear understanding comes before any purchase or policy.

Education, not a sales pitch

AI is not a magic fix. We help schools understand it before they decide.

Leaders, teachers, students and parents learn what AI can and cannot do, so your school makes its own informed choices.

“The workshop enlightened me on how to use AI effectively to plan my lessons and create worksheets and posters — while making sure the information is accurate and useful. I encourage other teachers to try it to make their workload lighter. I am so grateful.”

Dametta Mason Guyana Participant, STEM Guyana AI for Teachers workshop

“The STEM Guyana AI for Teachers workshop helped me appreciate the power of using Artificial Intelligence in a meaningful way — in teaching, lesson planning, and innovative pedagogy. It was an enriching experience during my doctoral research on innovative strategies to enhance STEAM education, helping me understand the role technology plays in supporting primary teachers to provide meaningful, engaging, and creative learning opportunities. For teachers who are unsure about AI, I would encourage them to study and adopt it in a competent and responsible manner — and see it as a tool that can help them improve upon effective pedagogy, rather than replace them.”

Learning that lasts

Education that stays useful after the session ends.

Instead of a one-time presentation and a folder of links, your school receives a connected, private space for the work. People can return to what they learned, pick up where they left off, and use the next resource when it matters.

Educator certification

A certificate that shows understanding, not just attendance.

Teachers earn certification by learning with a facilitator and showing what they understand. The approach builds on STEM Guyana’s AI for Teachers workshops, where 485 of 671 participating teachers earned a certificate by passing an assessment.

Learn with a facilitator
Live, facilitated sessions with Dr. Karen Abrams across eight modules, from how AI works to leading a classroom lesson.
Show understanding
