Innovators Lab

BUILD FOR IMPACT

The Innovators Lab is a hands-on program where participants use AI tools to build apps, automations, and research-driven solutions for advancing social good.

Work alongside like-minded innovators, get mentorship from experienced guides, and gain practical skills in AI-powered creation. You'll leave with a stronger portfolio, real-world experience, and a community of peers committed to building with purpose.

System for Growth

TOOLS FOR GROWTH

Small businesses and nonprofits are often the last to benefit from emerging technology because the resources were never built with them in mind.

We offer hands-on workshops and practical AI tools designed specifically for these underserved communities, helping them automate operations, reach more people, and grow sustainably without enterprise-level budgets.
