Cerebral Constellations is a pioneering STEAM-focused nonprofit organization (6463301, EIN-33-1986086) dedicated to democratizing knowledge at the intersection of natural & artificial minds, technology, and society.
Through accessible, multimedia educational content, Cerebral Constellations bridges the gap between academic research and public understanding.
AI LITERACY CRISIS
86% of students already use AI in their studies, yet 58% of students lack the fundamental AI literacy skills, which ultimately perpetuates a vicious cycle of digital poverty and exclusion, which disproportionately impacts underserved, marginalized communities.
Cerebral Constellations believe in democratizing AI education ending both the digital divide and digital poverty, both cycles of technological and societal disadvantages, which impact equity, healthcare access, education, employment, and social inclusion.
Closing the AI literacy gap in underserved, marginalized, and/or low-income communities requires critical intervention and equitable opportunities for learning and self-empowerment in the digital age.
TWIN CRISES OF THE DIGITAL AGE
The dual crisis of basic literacy and AI awareness threatens to create a permanent underclass in our increasingly digital world.
A devastating reality unfolds in classrooms worldwide: 64% of 10-year-olds cannot comprehend basic texts - a fundamental crisis that threatens to cascade as AI transforms society.
In addition, the impact of classism and poverty on education often hampers children from lower SES backgrounds and their development in the arts, exacerbating existing educational inequities and children’s cognitive and noncognitive skills.
In the United States, a new technological and educational poverty emerges with stark racial divides: while 72% of White students are equipped with knowledge of transformative AI tools like ChatGPT, only 56% of Black students have access to this critical awareness.
The unequal footing of early education gaps determined by race, social class, and station of birth — yet Cerebral Constellations is dedicated to the utopian idea that anyone may enter into the digital world without privilege or prejudice.
