Raising AI
We're raising awareness. We're raising our kids. We're raising the conversation.
Our kids will live with AI their entire lives. We're raising expectations for what families deserve: proactive education, accessible resources, and a seat at the table.
Three mothers closing the parent AI literacy gap, one family at a time.
OUR STORY
Why We Came Together
We each had our own moment of realization.
For Julie, it was discovering her middle schooler was using AI features she didn't know existed.
For Sarah, it was watching parents opt out of using AI tools at home, missing out on opportunities to lighten their load.
For Ruqaiya, it was seeing busy moms locked out of the AI conversation entirely.
We realized we weren't alone in these moments. And we realized that while billions flow into AI literacy for students and teachers, parents are being left behind.
So we decided to change that. Together.
Raising AI is our commitment to building AI-ready families through accessible education, practical resources, and honest conversations about what AI means for the people raising the next generation.
