At Onyx Foundation, Inc., we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to understand, create, and thrive in the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence. The AI Future Builders™ Certified Program was created to bridge the digital divide by providing middle and high school students with free access to emerging technology education, entrepreneurship training, and real-world career skills that will prepare them for the future.
This innovative four-week summer experience is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence while empowering them to become creators, not just consumers of technology. Through hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and guided instruction, participants will explore how AI is transforming industries, communities, and everyday life.
