Pathfinders is Westeq's community initiative — AI-focused workshops and training programs that introduce artificial intelligence as early as kindergarten, all the way up to small business owners. Built for underprivileged communities who deserve a head start, not a catch-up.
A growing community of learners
New technology reaches the wealthy first. Pathfinders sends it the other way. We bring AI education into the classrooms, community centers, and small businesses that are usually last in line — so the people who need a head start get one.
Every Pathfinders workshop is hands-on, jargon-free, and led by people who know how to teach — not just how to code.
Hands-on, play-based workshops that introduce young children to what AI is — and what it isn't — through stories, drawing, and simple building activities. Curiosity first, screens second.
Teens learn to use AI tools responsibly for school, creativity, and career exploration — from writing better prompts to spotting misinformation and understanding how AI shapes their world.
Practical, jargon-free training that helps small business owners and job-seekers put AI to work — saving time, cutting costs, and reaching more customers without a tech team.
Pathfinders is designed first for the neighborhoods that get left behind by new technology — schools, community centers, and small businesses that can't afford a consultant.
Workshops run in-person at schools, libraries, and local organizations, with virtual options for communities we can't reach by car.
One continuous program that grows with the learner — so a child who starts in our Early Learners lab can come back years later as a Small Business Builder.
This page is the foundation. Workshops, partner schools, and a full program calendar are being built right now. If you're a school, community organization, or small business that wants to be first in line, we'd love to hear from you.
