AI programs for NYC public schools
AI training that prepares every classroom.
Teachers get certified, students get literacy. Shine Bright delivers AI professional development for educators and student facing AI literacy for grades 6 to 12, aligned to NYCPS guidelines and powered by Google Gemini.
Two programs, one goal
Safe, ethical, and effective AI in every school.
Educators and students are using AI tools today, often without training or guardrails. We close that gap on both sides of the classroom: a certified readiness program for teachers, and an age appropriate literacy program for students in grades 6 to 12.
