Overview

Creative lab for Black boys to explore identity, culture & storytelling through AI.

KINGS IN THE MAKING: The AI² Lab — Ancestral × Artificial Intelligence is a one-of-a-kind creative experience for Black boys to explore identity, self-expression, and ancestral wisdom using emerging AI tools. Hosted at Envision Academy of Arts and Technology, this 4-hour hands-on lab blends technology, storytelling, and cultural pride in a space designed for curiosity, creativity, and connection.

Participants will dive into interactive activities led by Black creatives and educators, using tools like ChatGPT, generative art platforms, music-making software, and storytelling prompts rooted in African diasporic traditions. Through this experience, youth will build new skills, express their ideas, and explore how the past can power the future, all while creating something of their own to take home.

Whether your child is into music, design, writing, or tech, this event is all about cultivating genius in a culturally grounded and affirming environment.
