Nonprofit Branch
About
Athena's nonprofit branch is entirely separate from our for-profit startup.
Mission
To advocate for the use of accessible AI in K-12 classrooms, and educate educators on the use of these technologies.
​
We have 3 primary strategies to achieve our vision:
​
1. Advocacy & Campaigns
Conduct nationwide campaigns to advocate for the adoption of safe AI in the classroom. Technology is a tool. We believe bans on all AI technology such as ChatGPT hinders opportunities for learning.
​
2. Educational Partnerships
Partnerships with K-12 schools to inform educators on uses of AI in the classroom.
​
3. Workshops & Presentations
Workshops and presentations on the use of AI tools in K-12 classrooms.
Founding Story
While working on developing Athena, our team realized the clear gap between teacher knowledge of free AI tools that could be used to enhance the classroom experience, and the penchant for schools to immediately ban the use of AI tools. Athena is committed to closing teachers' and schools' knowledge gaps on the use of AI and new technologies in the classroom - for completely free.
