The opportunity

AI is already here.
Let’s get ready.

In homework, group chats and everyday decisions, young people are already encountering AI. Knowing how to use it well takes practical skills, independent thinking and clear boundaries.

AI Ready.TT is a locally built AI literacy and safeguarding programme for secondary students and teachers. The ambition is simple: help young people question, create and make informed choices, with teachers equipped to lead.

From idea to programme

A local need.
A lasting ambition.

As Programme Director, I lead delivery, partnerships and engagement, bringing programme, creative and communications leadership together from the beginning.

Working alongside technical lead James Barber of UX Caribbean, the programme connects research, curriculum development, teacher support and a learning platform. The identity gives that ambition a confident, approachable voice: ready, not scared.

The brand / Ready, not scared.

A big idea.
A language of its own.

A confident, approachable identity built around the circles in the logo. Dots become patterns, discs become frames, and swoops bring movement to the message.

Stage one / Currently in development

Listen first.
Build from here.

The Caribbean AI Youth Survey is the first stage of AI Ready.TT, and the stage we’re currently working on.

We’re developing the survey to understand how young people use and feel about AI, what they trust and where they need support. Those insights will help shape the curriculum and teacher training around real experiences in Trinidad & Tobago.

Put it to work.

01

Listen first.

A national baseline survey targeting 800+ students, alongside teachers and headteachers, to understand what is happening locally.

02

Back the classroom.

Six practical modules, a classroom pilot targeting 400+ students, and training, certification and support for 40 teachers.

03

Build beyond year one.

A student challenge focused on local problems, followed by an openly shared curriculum and findings to support wider learning.

These are programme targets, not completed results. School participation and delivery dates are being agreed.

Built here. Backed internationally.

A shared investment
in what comes next.

The first year is supported by a grant from the U.S. Embassy in Port of Spain through Freedom 250 Outreach Programming.

International support. Local leadership. A practical foundation for AI learning in Trinidad & Tobago and the wider Caribbean.
