AI for Everyone is a 3-week, cohort-based community learning series designed to introduce participants to Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a powerful everyday assistant. Facilitated by KHIS Multi-Hats Teacher, Maeva Anderson, this program empowers learners aged 14 and older with foundational knowledge, hands-on experience, and ethical awareness to use AI confidently for personal, academic, and creative projects.

Each 60-minute session will focus on practical, build-on lessons — from understanding what AI is, to mastering prompts, designing websites, and exploring visual creativity — while encouraging responsible and ethical use of AI.
