Sankofa Kings AI Lab
Oakland has always been a city of creators and leaders. This summer, Kingmakers of Oakland is making sure our young men are at the forefront of the next big wave in technology. We are excited to announce the Sankofa Kings AI Lab—a 6-week summer residency where culture meets the future.
The Mission: We are looking for 25 Kings (Ages 12–25) to move from being users of technology to becoming the "Social Architects" who build it.
What to Expect: This isn’t a boring classroom. It’s a lab built on Brotherhood. Our Kings will work together to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve real-world problems in our own neighborhoods. Whether it’s preserving the stories of our elders or building new plans for our blocks, we are using tech to strengthen our community.

Earn While You Learn: Every participant receives a summer stipend for their work and dedication.
