Welcome to the Future of Play
About
Who We Are
AI RISE CIC is a London-based community hub dedicated to helping Black youth and other underrepresented groups discover their place in the world of AI. We blend tech, art, culture, and play to build confidence, skills, and imagination.
Our Mission
AI Rise CIC exists to empower young Black and underrepresented youth by giving them real access to artificial intelligence through creativity, play, and cultural expression. We’re building an inclusive space where tech isn’t taught through tests, it’s explored through art, music, and imagination. Our mission is to close the access gap, unlock innovation from the ground up, and inspire the next generation to lead in a future that wasn’t built with them in mind, but will be shaped by them.
Why We Exist
Too many young people grow up without ever seeing themselves in tech. We're here to change that. Not with lectures — but with joy, discovery, and the freedom to create without limits.
What We Do
AI Rise CIC is a creative tech hub for young people aged 11–18 from underrepresented communities. We use cutting-edge AI tools to unlock imagination — not just education.
AI Art
Create stunning visuals using tools like MidJourney and explore AI-generated creativity.
AI Music & Voice
Generate music and voices using AI tools like Suno, bringing sound to life with code.
Visual Storytelling
Learn how to create cinematic AI-generated videos with tools like Runway.
Self Expression
Discover identity, creativity, and expression on your terms, through culturally grounded exploration.
Gallery
Step into our world. This space showcases the art, stories, videos, and experiments created by the young minds in our program. All powered by AI tools and their imagination.

My son has always been curious, but he never really saw himself in tech. This gave him a space to create on his terms — art, music, and stories, all with AI. He’s more confident now, not just with tech but with speaking up and sharing ideas. It unlocked something in him. I’m grateful.
Parent Testimonial (Tasha, parent of 11-year-old)
Before this, I didn’t even know what AI really was. Now I’ve made my own comic using MidJourney and voiceover with Suno. It actually made me feel smart. I showed my mum and she said, ‘I didn’t even know you could do that!’ I want to make a whole series now. I didn’t think tech could be fun like this.
