Client Testimonials

My students were completely engaged throughout the entire experience. They not only learned about AI concepts but also developed critical thinking and teamwork skills. The financial literacy component was an unexpected bonus that sparked great discussions."

Sarah Johnson Middle School Technology Teacher

"The AI Academy escape room was the perfect culmination to our technology unit. Students applied what they learned in a fun, challenging environment. The detailed facilitator guide made implementation straightforward, even for someone with limited AI knowledge."

Michael Rodriguez High School Computer Science Teacher

We adapted this for our library's teen program and it was a huge hit! The students were talking about AI concepts for weeks afterward. The flexibility of the materials made it easy to scale for our space and resources."
