Artificial intelligence is transforming the world we live in. To succeed in this new reality, students must learn to create, think, and collaborate with AI.
That’s why the AI Initiative was created. In a safe environment, students learn to use AI creatively — immediately connecting theory with practice as they work in teams to solve real-world problems using state-of-the-art tools.
The project brings together students from American Academy in Prague, American Academy in Brno, American Academy in Zagreb, Pražské humanitní gymnázium, and Square — including both upper primary and high school students.
The AI Initiative is the most ambitious educational program to date, designed to develop the skills of hundreds of students and teachers and show them how to fully unlock the potential of artificial intelligence.
Students enhance their technological competencies and learn to work with various platforms and applications.
Active involvement in all project phases
Willingness to dedicate time beyond regular lessons
Access to basic technical equipment (a computer or tablet with internet connection)
The project is designed to be manageable and supportive. Each school will have a dedicated coordinator to guide students through every stage.
If you work in IT, data analysis, research, or related fields, you can join as a mentor.
Parent-experts are invited to give short talks about their profession and share real-world experience with students.
