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.</div></dd><dt name=\"textarea-1727191235485-0\">What is the solution to the challenge?</dt><dd id=\"textarea-1727191235485-0\" name=\"textarea\"><div>Bridging Tomorrow: FREE Generative Learning AI Education for NYC's Young Students proposes 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.\nWe are a Manhattan-based. We currently teach at Dos Amigos and have children at Dos Amigos School in the Square, which is currently K-4th grade, but adding 5th grade in 2025. We'd like to sustain our current program and expand the success of our unique programs to other organizations and schools that could serve as potential partners for this proposal, as they align with its mission to address the digital divide in underserved communities:\n ●●● \n1. Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ)\nKnown for its comprehensive approach to education and community upliftment, HCZ focuses on addressing systemic inequities in Harlem. Its strong emphasis on early childhood education, digital literacy, and family support would make it an excellent partner.\n ●●● \n2. East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP)\nThis organization provides after-school programming, college prep, and summer learning opportunities for underserved students. Their focus on STEM education and academic equity aligns well with introducing AI generative learning programs.\n ●●● \n3. Union Settlement\nA key player in East Harlem, Union Settlement offers educational programs, workforce development, and youth services. Their connections with local families and schools make them a valuable partner for deploying mobile workshops and family engagement initiatives.\n ●●● \n4. The Boys’ Club of New York (BCNY)\nServing boys and young men from underserved communities, BCNY offers programs in education, arts, and leadership development. Their focus on bridging opportunity gaps could align with generative AI education for their members.\n ●●● \n5. Manhattan Borough President's Office (Community Boards and Schools Partnerships)\nWorking directly with the Manhattan Borough President's office and engaging community boards can facilitate partnerships with local schools, libraries, and community centers. Schools like P.S. 57 James Weldon Johnson (East Harlem) or P.S. 33 Chelsea Prep could be focal points.\n ●●● \nThese organizations and schools bring strong local ties and a commitment to addressing disparities in education and technology access, ensuring community buy-in and impact.\n</div></dd><dt name=\"number-1727191411855-0\">Please provide your Zip Code</dt><dd id=\"number-1727191411855-0\" name=\"number\"><div>10034</div></dd></dl></xml>"},"title":{"en":"Bridging Tomorrow: FREE Generative Learning AI Education for NYC's Young Students"}}
