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.

Hey! My name is Stanley Jin, the way of programming is a fantastic process. The sense of achievement after immense struggle of coding is truly amazing. Now coding for the past 4 years, I understand how to apply programming and especially AI to the real world by creating all sorts of projects. Aside from programming, snowboarding has been my hobby since I was very young. Now, I stepped up my game and now work as a snowschool professional (more commonly known as snowboarding instructor). It is my pleasure to meet you, have a wonderful day.

Hi my name is Rafael, and I find it a pleasure to be part of the AiGoLearning team, where I can do what I love while helping others. My penchant for coding has followed me through middle school, and now as a sophomore at the Academy of Information Technology I discovered that I love teaching too. During my free time, besides coding, I enjoy exercising, being active, and sometimes even gaming. I look forward to further collaborate with such a great family that is the AiGoLearning team.

Hey everyone! My name is Satwika and I’m a current junior in high school. I first got into programming by taking introductory CS classes and since then I’ve taken extensive classes to really further my knowledge on how computers work both. Because of this passion, I got into AiGoLearning, starting off as a teacher (I love kids!) and joining the amazing team of people who make this organization run. I currently work on improving the various curriculums we have and making teaching easier for every one of our teachers. I’m excited to see where we’ll take AiGoLearning this year 🙂

Hey! My name is Raghav Sriram and I am currently a junior in high school. I first joined AiGoLearning as a Python and Scratch teacher, but have since then expanded my role in curriculum development and management. Last year I created a basic web development class and right now I am working on creating AiGoLearning’s workshop bounty program. This program will allow AiGoLearning to accumulate a deep inventory of twenty minute workshops that can be conducted and shared easily. Outside of AiGoLearning and school, you will find me attempting to sing pop music and playing TypeRacer again my friends. I can’t wait for you to join us on our AiGoLearning journey.

Hello! My name is Daniel, currently a High School Senior. In my sophomore year, I became a teaching assistant to the very first Scratch + AI class. The next year, I took over the class as the teacher. When the pandemic started, I began training other teachers to teach these programming classes online. To expand the program, I co-founded AiGoLearning. As Steve Jobs once said, “Everybody should learn to program a computer”, and I believe AiGoLearning can help communities achieve that goal. In my free time, I love to spend time with my brother, drive around, and just relax. Traveling is also fun.

Initatives

Teacher Training: The training team’s goal is to train and evaluate new student teachers. This includes hosting training weeks and developing materials. We’re looking for experienced teachers to join us.

Student Teacher Recruiting: The recruiting team focuses on reaching out to student teachers. So far, we have reached hundreds of teachers all over the country. If you join this team, you will have the opportunity to meet and interview different people.

Teaching Quality: The Teaching Quality Team’s goal is to bring quality education to students and guidance to teachers. To continue doing so, AiGoLearning is looking for experienced teachers and leaders who bring engagement and enthusiasm into their classes to help others do the same.

Curriculum Development: If you are passionate about specific coding languages and want to help develop courses, the curriculum development team is for you! Many of our courses are actually outlined and created by students. Developers create the outline from scratch and the necessary presentations, project prompts, and solution codes. Subsequently, the developers would be consulted on most things regarding the new course and will play a large role in training new teachers as well.

Event Management: AiGoLearning has already hosted 2, very successful hackathons. These events require months of planning and preparation in multiple aspects, such as financial, outreach, and marketing efforts. Organizers gain value experience in these fields and working against the clock on a big project , as well as practice communicating with well respected organizations and individuals. Joining the event management team will help you gain valuable experience and help organize wonderful events.

STEM for All: Teens Teach Kids Coding (TTKC) is a nonprofit mission led by AiGoLearning that aims to bring the power of education to everyone through computer science. We provide free, high-quality, virtual coding courses to students from underprivileged and underrepresented groups in STEM*. We seek to partner with organizations such as local libraries, senior centers and non-profit organizations to spread our resources and reach people in need. We have courses for children aging from 5-15 years-old, from preschool/kindergarten level to high school level.

Girls Go Coding: Girls Go Coding is a non profit project which aims to give more access to girls so that they can learn their next essential life skill, coding! Young girls lack female STEM role models and environments in which they feel welcome. Girls Go Coding offers that through free, live, high quality coding classes. Classes are available to all children from 5 to 15! We are looking for people who share our enthusiasm for opening up the coding field to more girls, whether you can provide content, become a teacher, marketing, or just another point of view.

TTK Clubs: TTK Clubs is an AiGoLearning initiative that provides the guided opportunity to start a TTK Club (Teen Teach Kids) in your school or community as a high school student! Not only will you gain respect amongst others and add a leadership role (club president) to your resume and college application, but you will also gain the crucial experience of teaching others how to teach, create a warm teaching environment, interact with students, etc… all while increasing coding opportunities for the next generation of coders! For more information check out https://aigolearning.org/ttkclub/.

Journalism Team: Do you like writing, outreach, or media production? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the previous questions, then you should consider joining the AiGoLearning Journalism team! The journalism team is a team of members and aspiring writers focused on documenting and acquainting the public with the efforts made by AiGoLearning and its student leaders to provide programming learning and teaching opportunities across the country! We do this through authoring and publishing articles on a wide variety of topics, ranging from AiGoLearning initiatives to exclusive interviews with prominent STEM leaders. If you’d like to see what we’ve done so far, our articles are posted on medium at https://medium.com/aigolearning. We hope to see you soon!

AiGoLearning Junior Team (AJT): AJT works with students younger than the typical internship-age. Our team creates monthly practice problems for the students attending our classes, and other students too, to try out. This allows them to reaffirm their skills they learn in the classroom, expand upon their knowledge, and teach them the valuable skills of research, perseverance, and communication within our community of young students. AJT also works on teaching its members how to teach from a younger age, and starts them off as teacher assistants in real classrooms.
