Join as an AI Champion

When a classmate is stuck, they ask the person who knows. An AI Champion is that person. You are the go-to expert your peers turn to for help with AI tools, prompts and real projects.

In short

The expert in the room

Access to technology should be a human right, not a privilege of geography or income, and knowledge is the part of that access anyone can start sharing today. Every campus has a few people who others quietly rely on. The AI Champion is that role, made deliberate. You go deep on the AI tools that matter, from writing better prompts to shipping a working prototype, and you make that knowledge available to everyone around you.

Tembi prepares you with the AI education of the companies and research labs we partner with. You do not have to figure it out alone. You get structured training, hands-on practice and a mentor, and in return you lift the AI literacy of your whole community.

Purpose

In short

Why an AI Champion matters now

AI literacy is splitting into a new kind of divide. Students who learn AI tools early build faster, apply for more, and shape what gets made. Students who never get the chance fall further behind, not for lack of talent but for lack of access. An AI Champion closes that gap from the inside. By raising the AI literacy of one campus, you turn scarce access into shared digital skills that become AI skills for jobs across a whole cohort.

You do not need to be the loudest person in the room. The role suits anyone who likes to understand something properly and then help others get it too. Most Champions first show up at a student hackathon, catch the building bug, and realise they want to keep that momentum going for their peers.

An AI Champion does not hoard knowledge. They spread it. That is the whole point.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

You become the person peers turn to for help with AI tools, prompts and projects. You answer questions, run small hands-on sessions, and raise the AI literacy of your community, backed by training Tembi provides.

No. You need curiosity and the willingness to learn deeply and then share. We prepare you with the AI education of our company and research-lab partners, so you grow into the expert role.

An AI Champion is the go-to expert on tools and building. A Chapter Lead organises events and grows the community. The roles complement each other, and many students take on both over time.

Nothing. Taking part is free for students. Tembi brings the training, the sponsored AI tools and the mentorship. You bring your curiosity and your commitment.

Take part in a Tembi AI hackathon on your campus and apply there, or write to hello@tembilabs.com to ask about becoming an AI Champion at your university.

You go deep on the AI tools that matter, from prompting and evaluating output to building a working prototype. The training is built with our company and research-lab partners, so you learn to use current tools well and to teach them clearly, which is a genuine, portable skill. ---
