AI for Every Student

Overview

AI for Every Student is 11:11 Philosopher Group’s philanthropic project to bring AI to K-12 students, starting with the 43,000+ students of New Orleans. NOAI and 11:11 Philosophers Group facilitate funding for professional development and AI tools in classrooms.

During our NOAI festival on November 11th, participants will share their work and experiences bringing AI to the classroom. Our ultimate goal is safe and effective AI implementation in schools everywhere.

What We Offer

One year of AI support for schools. That includes:

• $1000 for an AI Champion teacher.
• 3 PDs per year by expert AI implementors to train teachers.
• Invitation to our upcoming AI Teacher Hub.
• 1:1 Support via Philosopher Group’s Slack.
• Invitation to our annual symposium, NOAI EDU, on November 11.

Example Outcomes:

• AI Student Handbook: Co-created school-wide standards around AI used to promote academic excellence.
• Poster Presentations: Student material that showcases lessons learned around AI technology, promoting peer-to-peer learning.
• AI Skills Certificates: Training and resources that yield certificates that prove AI-related skills mastery.

11:11 Philosophers Group will study the long-term impact of this program in approving skills mastery and teacher retention across New Orleans.

What We Ask

1. An AI Champion: Schools provide a teacher or staff member who is excited about using Artificial Intelligence in the classroom and can help champion AI at your school. This AI lead can expect to dedicate 5-10 monthly hours to champion AI for Every Student. We usually suggest one champion for every 350 students.
2. NOAI Participation: We hope schools contribute to our annual NOAI Festival and connect with other participating educators to share lessons learned.

Request Funding

Educators, administrators, or students may contact ai@philosophers.group to participate in AI for Every Student.

Funding is available to K-12 schools throughout the New Orleans area.

Funding Process

1. In-Person Meeting: An AI for Every Student team member meets with an interested AI lead at the school.
2. Submit Budget: From that initial meeting, schools submit a budget that outlines how they aim to increase AI literacy within their school. The budget must include time-based outcome goals.
3. Get Paid & Schedule PDs: Schools invoice 11:11 Philosopher’s Group for expenses related to the program.

Sample Budget: During the 2025 Year, our school will explore 3 key areas of AI: Safety/Ethics, Creativity, and Academic Excellence. We’ll need Khanmigo for 1000 students, which costs $10/student/year. By the end of the year, we will deliver new schoolwide AI policies in our student handbook.
