Our Impact - AiGoLearning

OUR TEAM

About us

Aigolearning is a non-profit organization with the dual purpose of promoting coding in Children and young students’ contribution to teach Children coding.

We began with two classes at local school. With the expansion of online teaching as well as the growing emphasis on computer and technology, we began to grow. Overtime, we found more and more high school students around the nation who participated in our program, and more and more students interested in learning artificial intelligence.

Today, we have bases in both New Jersey and Seattle, and have partnered ourselves with multiple local Schools. As we expand, we hope more students will experience the joy of finishing a challenging computer program and more instructors will gain the experience of teaching through our program.
