# SparkLab: AI literacy and skills lab

> AI literacy and applied AI skills, at scale.

SparkLab is our AI training lab. It runs AI literacy and applied AI programs for students, teachers and professionals in physical and virtual labs, with certification and dashboards that track adoption.

Every school and organization now needs people who can use AI well and responsibly. SparkLab is how we build that capacity, from first-time users to engineers building AI systems.

Programs run in physical and virtual labs. Teachers can earn certification, and institutions get dashboards that show AI adoption in real time.
