Hands-on AI programs delivered with Code Ninjas, the YMCA, and host schools across Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, and South Windsor, and the origin of the ConvoAAVE research.
AI Pathways Camp is where the organization's classroom work happens. Students train small models, examine how a chatbot selects a response, and work through the design decisions behind an AI system. These sessions are also where the questions about dialect and bias first surfaced, and those questions led directly to ConvoAAVE.
