Invite Us — or Come to Us

It works both ways. Schools, nonprofits, foster care programs, senior living communities, youth centers, and other institutions can invite us to teach the people they serve — always at no cost. And if you have something to share, you can come teach, speak, or mentor our students.

You invite us

Invite Us to Teach

We teach AI digital literacy, AI music, and AI sales, in formats that flex with each community and its funding — from multi-week cohorts to short bootcamps and weekly workshops. Live, virtual, and free for every student.

Choose “Invite Us to Teach” in the form above and tell us who you serve, roughly how many people, and where you are.

You invite us

Invite Us to Speak

Our team speaks at events, conferences, schools, and community gatherings on AI and creative technology, and on what changes when communities that get left out of new technology are handed real access to it instead.

Choose “Invite Us to Speak” in the form above and tell us about the event, the date, and your audience.

We invite you

Teach, Speak, or Mentor Our Students

We also invite people in. If you work in AI, technology, music, business, law, health, or any field our students are heading toward, you can teach a session, speak to a cohort, or mentor a student one-to-one.

Choose “Teach, Speak or Mentor” in the form above and tell us what you do and how you would like to help.

Private Events

Planning a birthday party?

Separately from the free invitations above, Kuumba Code runs Birthday Game Labs — hands-on coding and game-design experiences for children’s birthdays and youth celebrations. Kids don’t just play the game, they build it.

Birthday Game Labs have their own planning form. A paid private-event service, separate from our free programs.

Paid Course

Looking for one-on-one lessons?

Coding 101 is beginner programming taught directly by me — Python in one course, game development in the other. Kids and adults, starting from zero.

A paid course, separate from the free Kuumba Code programs. Scheduling and pricing are set per student.
