Team4Tech is inviting education-focused nonprofits and NGOs operating in Africa to apply for its
Experience Al Cohort, a free, structured learning programme designed to help nonprofit staff and
teachers build practical knowledge and confidence in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The programme will run from September through early December 2026 and will support participating
NGOs in understanding the foundations of Al and implementing Experience Al lessons with teachers
and learners.
Participants will explore how Al is used in everyday life, how computers learn from data, and how issues
such as limited datasets can contribute to bias. They will also gain practical experience training and
testing machine learning models and learn strategies for identifying misinformation in an increasingly
Al-driven world.
The programme will also introduce participants to Al-related career pathways, helping educators
prepare young people for a future where Al and digital skills are increasingly important.
WORTH
Selected organizations will have access to:
. Research-based Experience Al resources and coursework.
. Live virtual learning and peer-learning sessions.
· Self-paced learning modules.
. Coaching and facilitation from Team4Tech.
· Opportunities to strengthen staff knowledge and practical Al skills.
. An implementation stipend upon successful completion of the required course activities.
The stipend can be used to support the organization’s implementation of the learning and strategies
developed through the cohort.
ELIGIBILITY
The opportunity is intended for education nonprofits and NGOs operating in Africa that are interested
in using Experience Al lessons to strengthen Al literacy among teachers and learners.
Participating organizations are expected to nominate 2-4 staff members who can commit
approximately 15-20 total hours over three months.
Organizations should also be prepared to:
. Complete asynchronous learning activities and assignments.
. Attend six live virtual sessions focused on peer learning, sharing, and feedback.
. Complete pre- and post-cohort surveys.
. Complete a follow-up survey approximately 4-6 months after participation.
. Develop plans for implementing Experience Al within their organization and learner community.
Participants should also be comfortable completing coursework and participating in coaching
sessions in English.
