A hands-on 4-hour online workshop where Year 9–12 high schoolers use real AI tools to design, build and launch their own app. No prior coding experience needed.
Future Skills
The world they will enter looks very different to today. Here is what the data says.
AI fluency is now as foundational as reading and arithmetic. Students who can direct AI, not just use it, will be in highest demand.
The WEF's Future of Jobs Report 2025 projects that 39% of key job skills will change by 2030, with AI and big data topping the list of fastest-rising skills, ahead of every other competency.
Your high schooler leaves with a working app they built - ideal for university applications, scholarships and future employers.
The Curriculum Gap
Australian schools are doing their best - but the curriculum has not caught up to the AI era. We fill the gap.

Build on your prototype - add real features with AI
Learn to make AI write, fix and explain code
Bias, privacy and what it means to build ethically

The Toolkit
Students use the same AI platforms used in the industry by professional developers; not watered-down tools like Scratch.
About Dataavo
Dataavo is an AI and data literacy program built for young Australians. Our mission is simple: to make sure no child enters the workforce unprepared for an AI-driven world. We believe every student, regardless of their school, suburb or background, deserves access to the skills that will define the next decade of work.
Ayesha Usman is the co-founder of Dataavo and brings 15 years of experience at the intersection of AI, data and the future of work. She has led people analytics and AI strategy across some of Australia's largest organisations, and is a published voice on workforce transformation and AI equity.
Dataavo was born out of conversations in Ayesha's own community, where parents kept asking the same question: how do we prepare our kids for a world that moves this fast? As a mum, Ayesha felt that question personally. She watched her own children move through a school system that wasn't keeping pace with the world they were about to enter, and decided to do something about it. She built Dataavo because she believes the kids who will thrive aren't just the ones who use AI - they're the ones who know how to direct it.
