The context
Ingage Partners, a B Corp, runs an annual Social Impact Fund competition. The winning pitch earns a nonprofit a donation plus 100 hours of pro-bono consulting. I led this year's winning effort, for Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC).
The challenge
Give kids from underserved communities a real foundation in AI — not just how to use chatbots, but how the technology works and how to think about it responsibly — in a format BYOC's own leader could teach.
What I did
Won the funding
Led the Social Impact Fund pitch that secured the donation and 100 pro-bono hours for BYOC.
Designed a progression
Built six modules that move from analytics to machine learning to generative AI, each building on the last.
Wove ethics through everything
Instead of a single ethics lesson, made responsible AI and responsible data management part of every module.
Made it teachable
Packaged the curriculum for BYOC's philanthropy leader, who taught it to the students in July 2026.
Results
- Taught to 10+ students ages 11–15 from underserved communities
- BYOC's leader reported the program was a success
- The ethics thread sparked deep conversations among the students about AI
