About the program
VIBE Afterschool is a free, extracurricular program for students in grades 7–12. One afternoon a week for twelve weeks, students work with an advisor (a teacher, counselor, or vetted community volunteer with AI experience) to build a real project using AI tools. AI-fluent guides from the community visit when available. A school staff member is present at every session per school policy. The semester ends with a public showcase where students present their work. There is no cost to students or families.
I give permission for my child to
Participate in the program. Attend weekly sessions during the semester listed above and complete a project for the end-of-semester showcase.
Use AI tools during sessions. Tools are advisor-supervised and approved by the host before the cohort begins. Students typically use their own internet-connected device (phone, tablet, Chromebook, or laptop) during sessions and at home; some hosts also provide devices for in-room use. Student work is not submitted to AI platforms for training. The program’s AI Acceptable Use Policy applies.
Interact with volunteer professionals. Any community professionals invited as visiting guides will visit sessions when available. Every adult in the room has passed the school’s standard background check. A school staff member is present for every session per school policy. No one-on-one contact between guides and students occurs, during or after sessions.
Participate in the public showcase. At the end of the semester, students present their projects to an audience that may include families, school staff, sponsors, and local press.
