The “AI Highway” Vision: Connecting Kids From DC to NYC Through AI Education

A new kind of highway

Forget asphalt — AI-495’s “AI Highway” is built on connection, creativity, and curiosity. It links young learners from Washington DC to New York City, uniting communities under one mission: to make Artificial Intelligence literacy accessible to every child.

What the AI Highway represents

The “495” in AI-495 isn’t just a clever name — it’s a nod to the I-495 Beltway, symbolizing connection across regions.

Now, that connection extends beyond roads — it connects minds.
Students in Rockville, Tysons, Princeton, Flushing, and NYC learn the same world-class curriculum, share ideas, and collaborate through AI-powered platforms.

Why it matters

AI literacy isn’t optional anymore. Whether a child wants to be a doctor, designer, or entrepreneur, understanding AI gives them a competitive edge.

AI-495 makes this education local, personal, and inspiring — while maintaining Ivy-level rigor across every city.

A network of opportunity

By linking its East Coast locations, AI-495 creates a shared pipeline of opportunity:

• Shared workshops and competitions

• Regional showcases of student projects

• Mentorship between different city programs

It’s the first multi-city AI education network built for K-12 learners — and it’s growing fast.
