UpMentor equips CBSE, ICSE and State Board schools across Odisha with a structured, project-based AI literacy program — turning classrooms into AI-ready institutions, not just coding clubs.
Schools don't buy courses — they buy outcomes. WhiteHat Jr., Coding Ninjas and PW sell skill workshops. UpMentor sells something schools can't get anywhere else: a documented path to becoming an AI-ready institution.
We're not fighting for a slice of the coding-class market. We're building the category of AI Literacy Infrastructure — the operating layer schools need to face an AI-first world.
A 24-session, 8-week accelerator with three deliberate phases — cognition, production, identity — replacing one-off "AI awareness" sessions with a real curriculum.
Every student leaves with a portfolio, an internship certificate, a resume and a LinkedIn profile — proof of capability, not just attendance.
No stock-photo promises — this is the same format we run inside partner classrooms: small groups, real laptops, real prompts.
Three phases carry students from understanding AI, to producing real work with it, to building a professional identity around it.
Understanding AI, thinking with AI, responsible AI, context engineering, research and the professional AI stack.
AI applied to Science, Commerce and Humanities, competitive-exam prep, a real client sprint, and an internship.
Personal branding, career intelligence, portfolio-building, a capstone project, and graduation.

Our students already use AI daily — what we lacked was a structured way to teach them to use it responsibly. AILA gave us exactly that.
The internship model stood out immediately — students bring back something they actually built, not just a certificate.
What convinced our management was the operational rigor — workbooks, rubrics, verified certificates. It didn't feel like a workshop vendor.
AILA is the entry point into a much larger mission — making UpMentor India's standard AI education partner.
Equipping educators, not just students.
Extending the model beyond schools.
A national competition for young AI talent.
Student-driven AI research and awareness.
