Cristo Rey Brooklyn

Throughout the spring semester, all Cristo Rey Brooklyn High School freshmen took part in the AI League program, a career-connected learning experience and citywide competition for NYC students. MOUSE AI empowers young people to be problem solvers and leaders in a tech-driven world by learning and applying UI/UX design, Generative AI, and Computer Science to build working prototypes and products that improve life across NYC.

This is the second year of CRB's collaboration with MOUSE AI, and, under the guidance of Cristo Rey Brooklyn's Operations and Curriculum Associate Ms. Shay Abrahams, students identified real challenges facing communities—from education and health to sustainability and advocacy—and designed app prototypes using Figma to create solutions that can make a difference.

For this year's presentation day, students were joined by representatives from MOUSE AI, including Gemelli Briceño, senior program manager of the AI League and Larry Lieberman, chief executive officer, as they pitched mockups of their apps, explaining their ideation process and their personal connections to some of the social issues they addressed, along with the AI tools they used to create the mockups.

A special thank you to for sponsoring this year’s program and helping Cristo Rey Brooklyn High School offer opportunities that empower the next generation of innovators.
