The Plug AI
AI literacy for faith communities and first‑generation students. South suburban Cook County, Chicago.
Nobody told me AI was for people like me.
So I'm telling you.
The Plug AI teaches real AI skills in plain language: what the tools do, what they cost (usually nothing), and how to put them to work on your actual life. No gatekeeping, no jargon, no pretending you need a computer science degree.
The gap
Closing the gap between who has AI access and who needs it.
Who has it
Downtown offices. Venture money. A tutor in every pocket, already paid for.
Who needs it
Our block. Our churches. Our first‑gen students, told this wasn't built for them.
Access isn't a device. It's somebody who shows you what the tool can do for your life, in your language, on your schedule. That somebody is us.
What you learn when you plug in.
