What Our Teachers and Students Are Saying

I believe AI is one of the absolute most important areas for my students. This program gives me an option to introduce something crucial and educate myself as well. To have this tool to bring AI understanding to my community is incredible.

High School Teacher, Open Learning User

I liked that Open Learning introduced AI and technology in an English class. This kept me interested and motivated to complete the work.

High School Student, Open Learning User

The best part of the program was the videos that showed AI in different fields and with the developers discussing their creations...It was really inspirational to see so many women in these videos as well. It really makes the field seem open to women.
