With support from Google.org, the Foundation launched AI in the D and supported a holiday celebration for Detroit children and families. More than 100 high school students participated in the inaugural AI in the D camp in July 2025. According to the Foundation's program report, 94% reported increased confidence using AI and 100% created an original AI-driven business concept.

- 100+ AI in the D students | 94% reporting increased confidence using AI.
The 600+ Breakfast with Santa total is Foundation-reported cumulative attendance since 2023. AI in the D outcomes and the Google.org grant are documented in the 2025 impact report. The 1,000-child figure is a 2026 goal, not a completed outcome.

The next generation deserves a place in the AI economy. Through hands-on learning, mentorship and practical business challenges, Detroit students explore the tools shaping tomorrow.
