MILWAUKEE, June 10, 2025 ~ Associated Banc-Corp (NYSE: ASB) has announced a new pilot program aimed at equipping Milwaukee youth with essential skills in artificial intelligence (AI) and financial literacy. The program, called Associated Bank AI Academy, will be led by Terry L. Williams, the chief information officer at Associated Bank.
The six-week curriculum, which will launch this summer as part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee's curriculum, is designed for sixth through eighth grade students. It will focus on teaching students about artificial intelligence, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship through hands-on instruction in prompt engineering using platforms like ChatGPT and learning fundamentals of data science.
According to Williams, this program is a reflection of Associated Bank's commitment to supporting innovation in youth education. "This program blends financial literacy with emerging technology to give young minds a head start in understanding how artificial intelligence will shape their ongoing education and future," he said. "We're proud to partner with Boys and Girls Club and Milky Way Tech Hub to bring it to Milwaukee."

Each week, the Associated Bank AI Academy will cover a new topic, building upon the previous week's learning to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how AI will shape the future. To recognize their participation and performance in the program, students will earn "Associated Bank Bucks," which can be exchanged for Associated Bank merchandise and other exclusive rewards.
The classes will be facilitated by Milky Way Tech Hub, while the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee will host and manage the pilot and class operations at one of their locations in Milwaukee. Nadiyah Johnson, founder and CEO of Milky Way Tech Hub, expressed her excitement about this partnership: "This partnership embodies what Milky Way Tech Hub stands for - equity, education and empowering future innovators."
Jeff Snell, president and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee also shared his enthusiasm for this initiative: "Our youth development work at the Boys & Girls Clubs will rise or fall on our ability to innovate. Our offerings must be engaging, fun, relevant, and genuinely life changing. Associated Bank's AI Academy available to our members is a perfect example, capturing young imaginations and equipping them in new ways to be productive, responsible, caring citizens."

The program is set to begin on July 7 with a cohort of 15-20 students. Sessions will be delivered by Milky Way Tech Hub facilitators in partnership with employee volunteers from Associated Bank. The program will culminate with a celebration hosted at the Associated Bank River Center.
Plans are already in place to expand the program once the pilot is successfully completed. Associated Bank and Milky Way Tech Hub are also working together on co-branded materials to promote the initiative across the city.
