AI Clubs
Give Students a Place to Explore AI.
An AI club gives students room to experiment, build, question, and create with artificial intelligence — outside the pressure of a traditional assignment.
Literacy is what students should know. A club is where they practice it. HeyOtto is the student AI environment with adult visibility, so the club is not a stack of unsupervised consumer accounts.
- Advisor visibility
- Tool controls
- Real-Time Alerts
- Club playbooks
Advisor
I want kids to build with AI, not hide a ChatGPT tab.
Otto
Give them a club and a place you can see. I’ll help with the project; you set the tools.
What is an AI club? An AI club is a student-led or teacher-supported group where students learn about artificial intelligence through hands-on projects, experimentation, discussion, and creation.
- Clubs give students a place to explore AI
- Six things students do: build, create, explore, question, solve, share
- Start with one project
- Use a supervised environment

What Is an AI Club?
An AI club is a student-led or teacher-supported group where students learn about artificial intelligence through hands-on projects, experimentation, discussion, and creation. It is not a core-curriculum class and not a teacher-planning workshop. It is the after-school, elective, or lunch-block room where students get hands-on AI experience.

AI Club Ideas by Grade Level
Elementary
Explore AI through stories, games, creativity, and simple experiments.
Short sessions. An adult stays close. Tools stay tight.
Middle School
Build projects, investigate AI, and explore ethics.
Students can run more of the agenda. Integrity and privacy belong in every project debrief.
High School
Build more advanced projects, explore careers, and discuss real-world AI applications.
Sponsor as coach. Students can ship, present, and argue the ethics of what they built.
How to Start an AI Club at Your School
Seven steps. You do not need a full curriculum on day one.
- 01
Choose a teacher or staff sponsor
Someone who will be in the room and can see student work.
- 02
Define the club’s goals
Explore, build, literacy practice, or a mix — write it down.
- 03
Choose a safe AI environment
School-managed access with adult visibility, not personal ChatGPT accounts.
- 04
Set expectations for responsible AI use
Privacy, attribution, integrity, and what is off limits.
- 05
Start with a hands-on project
One shared build in the first two meetings.

Share student projects
A gallery, a family night, or a five-minute share at the end of the term.
