Description
Machine Literate is building free, interactive AI-literacy lessons for students in grades 5–12, like Brilliant or Duolingo but for understanding how AI works, where it goes wrong and how to use it responsibly.
We want every student to be able to use our lessons, including students who use screen readers or keyboards. We'd rather build it right now than fix it later.
What you'd do:
- Review lesson screens for keyboard, screen reader, contrast and focus issues
- Write clear findings and practical fixes
- Help engineers check that fixes work
Good fit if you: have hands-on accessibility testing or accessible frontend experience.
Commitment: Small and bounded. One or two review sessions to start.
Our mission: Make AI literacy free for every student, so they understand how AI works and learn to use it responsibly.
Why I started this: At my school, the head of school once said we are "afraid of the machines." That stuck with me. AI is going to be part of every student's future, so schools shouldn't fear it. They should teach it, and teach it responsibly.
About us: I'm Aditya Jhalani, and I founded Machine Literate, Inc., a New York nonprofit. We're pre-launch, and our first volunteers will help shape how everything works.
How it works: Remote, unpaid, adults 18+. Accepted volunteers join our team Slack and pick a first task. No calls required, but happy to talk if you'd like. You can pause or stop anytime. Unless you're a tutor, you won't work directly with students or see any student information.
How to apply: Click Apply on this page and answer a few short questions. It takes about 2 minutes and no résumé is needed.
