Welcome from the Academy Director

Hi, I’m Siyuan Guo, Founder & CEO of Bitta AI and Director of the Mentors.net AI Academy.

I started working with educators because I kept hearing the same thing: teachers are curious about AI, but most of what’s out there is either too technical, too generic, or built for someone else’s classroom. The Academy exists to fix that.

Our goal is simple — help educators understand what AI can actually do for their teaching, and give them the hands-on experience to build something they can use right away. No prior AI experience needed. You bring your own material; you leave with something that works.

What We Offer

Every workshop in the Academy is hands-on and practical. You won’t sit through a lecture on AI theory — you’ll build, test, and walk away with a working tool built from your own teaching material.

Current Workshops:

Building Your First AI Teaching Agent

Turn your syllabus, lesson plans, or study guides into an interactive teaching agent that answers student questions, runs practice sessions, and shows you where students are getting stuck.

Solving Creative Roadblocks with AI (with Tedd Hawks)

Join a free, hands-on online workshop where we help you solve creative roadblocks with the help of AI. AI can help you generate content, images, brainstorm, and format work — but there are a wide variety of uses and tools you can leverage.

Coming Soon

Watch this space for future workshops.

Earn Your Badge

Upon completing a workshop, you’ll receive a digital badge recognizing your new skills — something you can display on your professional profile, share with your school, or add to your portfolio.
