Challenging AI images
High school students building the ATLift app questioned racial assumptions in AI-generated imagery, revised their prompts, and compared results across models.
We said students wouldn't just learn tech here. They'd build it, ship it, credential it, connect through it, and come back to help someone else do the same. Here are the receipts.

Thank you for building with us ๐ค
From our 2024-2025 Impact Report. The 2025-2026 report is on the way.
TechRise is virtual first, so a student in Atlanta and a student in Abia State, Nigeria can earn the same credentials in the same community.
WCT is helping connect, convene, map and amplify the organizations creating STEM opportunity across Georgia. We're starting with the organizations and communities already connected to WCT and building toward a statewide picture.
The point is what becomes possible afterward.
Numbers tell part of the story. Play the games, hear the beats and watch the films our students built.
Prove It is the method we're developing to teach students to question AI, investigate, and decide for themselves. It grew out of real moments in our labs.
High school students building the ATLift app questioned racial assumptions in AI-generated imagery, revised their prompts, and compared results across models.
Students built and programmed offline language model applications around interests they chose, including fashion and mathematics.
Students explored how machine learning works, examined cultural representation, and discussed why their voices matter in how technology gets built.

We're building in public and documenting what happens along the way. This page is the highlight reel. The reports are the archive.
Help put the next student in position to build, publish, credential, connect, launch, and come back for someone else.
