What AI-native means for you
Being AI-native means you can make AI part of how you plan, carry out, and review real work. You understand the role, choose where AI is useful, and take responsibility for the result.
Start with a role you’re curious about. Learn its responsibilities, the problems it solves, and what good work looks like. You’re exploring a possibility; you don’t need to have your whole career mapped out.
Practice realistic tasks. Use AI to research, develop options, and prepare work. Build assistants for repeatable tasks, then check and improve what they produce.
Bring finished work and a working process to a conversation about an internship or career opportunity. Explain your decisions, show how AI helped, and identify what still needed your judgment.
Your starting point can be curiosity about a role or a business idea. This program focuses on work beyond school; it does not teach you to complete school assignments with AI.
A project you could show
Imagine exploring a marketing role by planning a campaign for a fictional bicycle repair business. Your portfolio could show both a finished campaign and the AI-assisted process behind it.
Illustrative project · Marketing
The sample brief: help a neighborhood repair shop introduce a spring tune-up service to local riders.
What your work demonstrates
Illustrative project, not a student result or a promised assignment. Your project depends on your chosen role and course requirements. Actual customer work requires appropriate permission.
The weekly commitment
Learn a method with Steve Cunningham, apply it to a task from your chosen role, and review the result. Submit the module assignment, then share it with a parent or guardian and explain what you built. Keep your first attempt and revisions so you can show what improved. Use the same approach to develop a business idea.
Review the family questionsA starting point for your week
Use recorded lessons around your school schedule, join live classes when you can, and bring questions to Saturday group coaching. Set aside time for practice between lessons.
This is rough participation guidance, not a guaranteed completion time. Your pace and the course requirements determine your progress.

Your progress comes from the work you complete and can demonstrate.
What you take forward
Build the understanding, practical skills, and evidence to pursue the opportunities that interest you. Learning to build a business with AI gives you another way to put those capabilities to work.
Choose a role, such as marketing coordinator or customer support specialist. Learn its responsibilities, how AI is used, and how to produce useful work with AI in that role.
Learn how to use AI to explore customer needs, shape an offer, and build a useful product or service. Test your ideas, learn from feedback, and plan how to deliver the work.
Build a portfolio of role-based work and business projects. Explain what you made, how AI helped, and how you checked it when discussing internships, jobs, or your own business.
Explore roles and business building
Explore what a role needs to accomplish and how AI can help at each stage. These examples show the work you could practice while keeping responsibility for the final result.
Inside your first course
The AI Native Foundations Black Belt gives you methods to apply in your chosen role and a business of your own. Explore nine ways to learn the work, solve problems, make decisions, and build useful projects.
You might learn the responsibilities of a marketing coordinator, practice handling a customer question, or develop an offer for a business you want to build.
Try different approaches. Ask why an answer makes sense. Check it against reliable sources and your own understanding.
The ability to choose an outcome, use AI to help pursue it, and judge the result for yourself.
Choose a belt to explore what you can practice.
Responsibility comes first
Your knowledge matters. Learn enough about the problem to evaluate the answer and recognize when you need help.
Learn when AI is appropriate, what needs human approval, and how to explain its contribution. Follow workplace rules. Schoolwork remains subject to your teacher’s permission.
Verify facts against reliable sources and ask the right person to review work that needs specialist expertise.
Use fictional or approved sample information for practice. Private student, school, or employer information needs appropriate permission and approved safeguards before it goes into an AI tool.
Before your first lesson
You’ll need your own ChatGPT account for this program. If you’re under 18, get permission from your parent or legal guardian before using it. ChatGPT’s minimum age is 13.
Explain how you’ll use ChatGPT in the program. Review the account requirements together and get your parent or guardian’s permission before you begin.
Read the age and permission requirementsOnce you have permission, create your own account or sign in to your existing one. Use accurate account details. Plan together for ChatGPT Plus, budgeted separately at about $20 per month.
Open ChatGPTFor optional parental controls, open Settings → Parental controls → Invite a parent. Send the invitation to your parent or guardian by email or phone, then ask them to accept and review the settings with you.
Follow OpenAI’s parent setup guideParental permission is required for under-18s. Linking accounts is a separate, optional way to manage settings; it does not give parents access to your chats or replace sharing your module assignments with them.
For parents and guardians
You should be able to see the effort, the work, and the understanding behind it. Use these questions to decide whether the program fits your family.
A role gives your child a concrete way to explore the world of work. It is a starting point for learning, not a decision about a lifelong career. Marketing and customer support are examples: the aim is to understand the work, try its tasks, and discover what interests your child.
Your child learns to make AI part of a practical way of working in a chosen role: understand the goal, plan the tasks, use AI and purpose-built assistants, check the results, and decide what to improve. The aim is to build capability your child can demonstrate when pursuing internships and future career opportunities.
After each module, your child will be asked to share the completed assignment with you and explain what they built, how AI helped, and what they checked or changed. Sharing and explaining the work is part of the program, so you should expect these updates directly from your child. The pilot starts with this approach; automated parent reports and separate parent accounts are not included at launch.
Steve Cunningham teaches the program. Your child can learn from recorded training and attend live classes when the schedule allows. Support includes the live classes and Saturday live group coaching through the learning platform. This combines flexible access to lessons with opportunities to ask questions and get help.
The initial Keystone pilot is for Upper School students in grades 9–12. Your child needs basic computer skills, such as using a web browser and working on a computer. No coding experience is required. Grades 7–8 are not included in the initial pilot.
Your child will need a computer, internet access, a web browser, and their own ChatGPT account. If your child is under 18, your permission is required before using ChatGPT. If your child is 18 or older, they can use Claude instead of ChatGPT. Plan for ChatGPT Plus to get the most out of the program, budgeted separately at about $20 per month. No other paid software is currently expected. Follow the ChatGPT setup steps above.
No. The program prepares your child to use AI in a chosen real-world role and to learn how to build a business with AI. It is not training in using AI to complete schoolwork. Responsible use still applies everywhere: if a teacher does not permit AI for an assignment, your child must not use it. Employer and tool rules must also be followed.
Your child learns what a chosen role involves and practices its tasks with AI. That means understanding the work, comparing approaches, checking sources, and revising the result. Business projects also develop the ability to understand a customer need and create something useful. AI output needs review, and your child must be able to explain the decisions behind the work.
A project could be a marketing campaign brief, a customer-support Agent, or a prototype product or service for a business idea. These are illustrative possibilities. A useful portfolio shows the role or customer problem, the finished work, the checks, and what improved.
Your child chooses a role, learns its responsibilities and standards, and explores how AI is used in that work. Through realistic tasks, your child practices using AI productively, checking the output, and building a daily way of working. The resulting portfolio can support conversations about internships and jobs.
Yes. Learning how to build a business with AI is part of the opportunity: explore customer needs, develop an offer, build a product or service, and plan how to deliver it. Your child can test an idea and improve it through feedback. Launching a business still requires the appropriate permissions and effort; customers, revenue, and success are not guaranteed.
Use one class plus about two hours of practice or program homework each week as a starting point for planning. This is rough participation guidance. Completion depends on the work, your child’s pace, and the requirements of each course.
Your child receives one year of access beginning at signup. The year starts from that individual signup date.
Your child earns each course certificate by completing the required work and meeting its assessment requirements. Meeting the requirements across all three courses leads to AI-native certification in a chosen role. The work includes demonstrating a system for that role and practicing how to plan, carry out, and review work. The certification describes the program requirements your child has met. The portfolio shows the work behind it. It does not guarantee an internship or job, and each opportunity will have its own requirements.
Make time after each module for your child to share the assignment and explain the work. Ask what the role needed to accomplish, how AI helped, and what needed checking or correcting. Agree on a regular practice time. Use fictional or approved sample information, and follow the relevant tool, workplace, and school rules.
Recorded training lets your child study around the school day. Live classes are available when the timing works, and Saturday group coaching provides a live opportunity to ask questions and get help. Exact session times and class lengths are still to be confirmed.
Your child must be at least 13 to use ChatGPT. If your child is under 18, review the requirements together and give permission before use. Your child should use their own account with accurate details. Read OpenAI’s age and parental-permission guidance before getting started.
Tuition is $1,000 per student for one year of access beginning at signup. It includes the three-course program: AI Skills Black Belt, AI Agent Black Belt, and AI Role OS Black Belt. Your AI subscription is a separate cost; budget about $20 per month.
No. Budget separately for ChatGPT Plus, currently $20 per month. Provider prices and features can change. Program tuition is $1,000 per student for one year of access.
Use the Register & pay button below to open the program’s PayPal checkout. Tuition is $1,000 per student for one year of access from signup. The start date and cancellation or refund terms are still to be confirmed.
Start by discussing ChatGPT together and giving your child permission before use. For optional account linking, your child can go to Settings → Parental controls → Invite a parent and send you an invitation by email or phone. Accept it and review the settings together. Use OpenAI’s step-by-step parental-controls guide. The guide explains account linking; it is not a separate program consent form.
No. Linking accounts lets you manage selected settings, but it does not let you read your child’s conversations. Your child will still be asked to share each module assignment with you and explain the work. See OpenAI’s parental-controls guide for details.
