Christian Atsu Education Centre launches AI literacy initiative to equip underserved youth
Christian Atsu Education Centre launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) literacy initiative at the Christian Atsu Education Centre. The project is designed to introduce underprivileged students and members of the surrounding community to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, digital tools and responsible technology use. The launch occurred on March 27, 2026.
The initiative is spearheaded by Prince Murphy Kwarteng, a Ghanaian-Canadian student at Madison Country Day School in Wisconsin. He launched the Ghana AI Literacy Project to address what he describes as a growing gap in access to AI skills among young Ghanaians. The programme specifically targets junior high school students aged between 12 and 16, equipping them with practical and accessible knowledge at a critical stage in their education. According to Prince Murphy Kwarteng, "This initiative is about opening doors for young people. Artificial intelligence has evolved rapidly since emerging in 2021 and is now shaping the future of work in 2026. It is important that our students are not just consumers of technology, but creators and innovators."
Prince Murphy Kwarteng indicated that the project will be expanded to reach more schools and communities across the country, contributing to national efforts to strengthen digital inclusion and innovation. The programme will deliver hands-on training sessions, workshops and mentorship opportunities focused on basic AI concepts, digital literacy and practical applications of technology in everyday life.
