Why this matters

Every day, more of life runs through a screen.

Banking, doctor's appointments, family photos, staying in touch — it's all moved onto phones and apps. For a lot of seniors, that shift happened fast, without anyone sitting down to explain it.

01

Everyday tech that simplifies life

We cover basic to intermediate skills seniors actually use — setting up emergency contacts, adding a medical ID, sharing photos with family, and more.

02

Real protection from scams

AI has made scams more convincing than ever. We teach the red flags that keep seniors' money and information safe.

03

AI made genuinely useful

We break down how generative AI actually works in simple terms, then show how it fits into everyday life — drafting a text to family, planning meals, getting a quick answer without digging through search results.

About Project AI Literacy

"I started Project AI Literacy as a National Honor Society service project — a few tech classes at a local senior center. It didn't take long to realize how real the need was, and how much seniors wanted someone to sit down and go slow with them. What began as a school requirement turned into something I wanted to keep building."

— Sky Maulik, Founder & high school student
