Show, don’t tell
From first lineto something shipped.
Three milestones, one consistent arc. Every TSI program ends with student work you can point a parent, principal, or partner to.
First line of code.
Students log into a TSI-provisioned environment with their school account, pair with a specialist instructor, and write their first script. No installs, no setup—the stack is ready.
A working project.
Mid-semester, students have shipped something real—a multi-page site, a working chatbot, a Unity scene, a hardware prototype. Code reviews from instructors, critique from peers.

My Portfolio
Demo to a real audience.
Every TSI program closes with a showcase—families, school leaders, and partner mentors in the room. Students present what they built and walk away with portfolio work under their own name.

TSI is the staffed program layer behind district, union, and independent partners — built so the proof lives in student work, not slide decks.
Multi-year partnerships, not one-off workshops
Specialist educators on-site — never a substitute
Every student leaves with published, named work

We didn’t waitfor safe AI tools.We built them.
Three classroom-safe AI applications — student-tested, teacher-approved, and designed to make learning feel like creating.
AI Tutor
Your personal learning companion
An adaptive AI assistant that meets every student where they are. Ask questions, get explanations, and dive deeper — all in a safe, moderated environment designed for K-12.
PIXIO
AI image generation for the classroom
Students create stunning visuals from text prompts — illustrations, concept art, design mockups. Content-filtered and classroom-safe from day one.
Machine
AI Workers that actually work
A platform to build, manage, and train your AI workforce. Deploy Workers for documents, slides, data analysis, research, images, and everyday automation — with 100+ integrations, secure hosted infrastructure, and advanced agent tools. Includes no-code ML to train and explore models without writing code, so students and teachers can go from prompts to real workflows.

Voices from students and educators in TSI programs across NYC partner schools.
“What I've done in the TSI class, we've experimented with VR, made websites, and try to make our own companies.”
Beyonce
BSHWCA
“Chensation is a music website/app made by 2019 seniors of Fort Hamilton High School. Our team is separated into different sections.”
Maggie
Fort Hamilton HS
“I was scanned using a structure sensor to make a 3D model of myself. I added it to my Unity game object.”
Malik
Steam Center HS
“In this class, I learned about web development and how they took features from different platforms to build something we could use.”
Serenity
KAPPA III
“We worked on building our game into an app. Yesterday we coded it, today we deployed it to a real device.”
Altin
Summer Program
“Product development is basically the brains of the group. They plan out the app, and make goals and plans for everyone else.”
Pablo
KAPPA III
“Before TSI I didn't think I could code at all. Now I've built three websites and I'm teaching my younger sister HTML.”

We started TSI in 2016 with one classroom and a stubborn belief: every student in New York City deserves the same access to industry-grade technology that students in well-resourced districts already take for granted.
Ten years later, we’ve grown into more than 200 partner schools across all five boroughs. We didn’t get here by chasing trends. We got here by showing up, semester after semester, with specialist teachers, working curriculum, and the patience to measure what we’re actually changing.
If you’re reading this as a foundation officer, a corporate partner, or a school leader weighing where to put your next dollar — I’d ask you to weigh us by what we ship, not what we promise. Ask us for the partner-school list. Ask for a classroom visit. Ask for the receipts. We’ll send them.
Thank you for being here.
