Who We Are

Playlab is a community of educators, technologists, and learners committed to democratizing AI in education. We believe that AI literacy should be accessible to everyone, and that the people who use educational tools should have a voice in how they’re designed.

​
Our Values

We’re at the start of the AI era. We believe an open-source, community-driven approach is key to harnessing AI in education. We’re a community of learners, supporting each other in creating, experimenting, and using AI.

Learn

Understand what AI means for you. Build AI literacy by starting with hands-on workshops, rooted in your unique issues and context.

Create

Your context matters. A lot. Create AI apps that respond to your challenges. And that bring your ideas to life.

Experiment

Responsible AI requires experimentation. We help you refine, evaluate, and responsibly use your AI tools.

Share

As you learn, share your work and learn from others. Together, we can discover how to use AI to advance education for all.
