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</div></dd><dt name=\"textarea-1727191235485-0\">What is the solution to the challenge?</dt><dd id=\"textarea-1727191235485-0\" name=\"textarea\"><div>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 Bronx-based organizations and schools that could partner with this proposal to bridge the AI digital divide:\n ●●● \n1. BronxWorks\nA well-established community organization, BronxWorks offers educational programs, family services, and workforce development initiatives in underserved areas. Their focus on youth programming and access to technology aligns well with this proposal’s goals.\n ●●● \n2. Phipps Neighborhoods\nPhipps Neighborhoods focuses on addressing systemic inequities through education, career readiness, and community engagement programs. Their work with families and youth in the Bronx makes them a strategic partner for deploying generative AI workshops and parent training programs.\n ●●● \n3. The DreamYard Project\nDreamYard uses arts and technology to foster youth development in the Bronx. Their commitment to creativity, education, and community engagement provides a natural synergy with generative AI storytelling, art, and educational initiatives.\n ●●● \n4. South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (SoBRO)\nSoBRO focuses on economic development, workforce training, and education for Bronx residents. Their youth programs, which include technology and innovation components, could benefit from an AI-based STEAM curriculum.\n ●●● \n5. PS/MS 95 - The Sheila Mencher School\nLocated in the Bronx, this school serves a diverse and underserved student population. Partnering with such schools to integrate generative AI into their curriculum and extracurricular programs could create a strong foundation for early digital literacy and creativity.\n ●●● \nThese organizations and schools are deeply rooted in the Bronx community and have a shared interest in addressing educational and technological disparities, making them ideal collaborators for this initiative.\n</div></dd><dt name=\"number-1727191411855-0\">Please provide your Zip Code</dt><dd id=\"number-1727191411855-0\" name=\"number\"><div>10455</div></dd></dl></xml>"},"title":{"en":"Bridging Tomorrow: FREE Generative Learning AI Education for NYC's Young Students"}}
