Partnerships & Cutting-Edge Technology

Thanks to our partnership with NIU's Department of Educational Technology, Research, and Assessment, our middle school students explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI). They develop coding, problem-solving, and computational thinking skills using LEGO Spike Kits and tools like Google Teachable Machines. From training AI models to building AI-driven games, students gain a deep understanding of AI’s capabilities, limitations, and ethical implications, preparing them for a technology-driven future.
