About EduPolaris AI Corporation
EduPolaris AI Corporation is a team of college admissions experts passionate about making personalized, affordable guidance accessible to all students. With college admissions becoming increasingly competitive and stressful, we created Ask Eddie—an AI college counselor that delivers expert support at a fraction of the cost, ensuring every student can confidently reach their educational goals. Over the next four years, EduPolaris AI Corporation will:
- Educate 250,000 secondary students (~70% from Title I schools, reflecting our mission-driven focus) using our new, free AI Literacy for College & Career micro-curriculum embedded in Eddie and available open-access.
- Deliver 200 professional development cohorts/workshops (virtual and in-person) reaching ~3,000 educators, counselors, and CTE/computer-science teachers. Topics include responsible AI, AI-supported counseling workflows, and classroom AI literacy integration.
- Launch a DOL-registered track and hire 8-12 AI apprentices (2-3 per year) in applied machine learning, data engineering, and AI safety/privacy, prioritizing candidates from public universities and diverse backgrounds.
- Provide 200 refurbished Chromebooks and 100 AI maker kits (e.g., microcontroller/vision kits) to Title I partner schools to support AI literacy modules and capstone projects.
- Sponsor 1,600 hotspot-months so low-income students can complete AI modules and college/FAFSA tasks without bandwidth barriers.
- Offer a six-module, standards-aware AI Literacy for College & Career curriculum with teacher guides, slide decks, and formative checks. We also offer office-hour tutoring blocks (2x/week during peak seasons) staffed by our team to help students/families apply AI tools responsibly for research, planning, and essays.
- Launch AI Careers Navigator within Eddie in 2026: role spotlights, skills maps, and project templates tied to local CTE pathways. Commit to 100 virtual career talks and 200 mentor matches/micro-mentorships with industry volunteers over four years.
- Contribute 40,000 student seat-months of Eddie’s AI features for Title I schools (valued at ~$150,000) earmarked for AI literacy modules, FAFSA/college workflows, and counselor PD.
- We provide 2,000 staff hours for professional development delivery, district implementation clinics, and open office hours and dedicate $300,000 (in software credits, professional development scholarships, and evaluation support) to ensure equitable uptake and rigorous measurement.
