DREAM has partnered with Lumi to integrate its AI platform into afterschool programming for students across East Harlem and the South Bronx... Feedback from DREAM educators has been extremely positive, with staff becoming 'ambassadors' for the platform at each school.

Lumi's presence at our Manhattan AI Summit exemplifies the company’s dedication to going above and beyond... We are strong believers in Lumi and the work they are doing to empower students, educators, and districts through AI-driven learning.
Gary Beidleman
Superintendent, Manhattan High Schools
The students were more engaged because they were creating projects from themselves—their ideas, their stories coming to life.
Ms. Jones
Newark Teacher
Students don’t just produce content, they build confidence. Lumi encourages participation and self-expression, making classrooms more engaged and alive.
Built for K–12
Lumi is built for the needs, values, and responsibilities of K–12 education.
Student data is never used to train AI models
EVER. Lumi’s commitment is absolute and non-negotiable.
Fully compliant with FERPA, COPPA, WCAG, and district procurement standards
Privacy, accessibility, and safety are foundational.
Transparent, age-appropriate AI interactions
No hidden reasoning, unpredictable outputs, or opaque prompts.
Human-centered guardrails built by educators
Lumi’s prompts and safety systems were co-developed with teachers, literacy specialists, and district leaders.
Admin and teacher oversight at every stage
Students operate within safe, structured creative experiences designed for learning — not open-ended AI chat.
How Lumi Supports Learning in Practice
Students Create
Guided by safe AI, students design characters, explore themes, and write stories that reflect their identity, imagination, and academic goals.
Teachers Customize
Lumi aligns to pacing guides, standards, and curriculum needs, letting teachers scaffold, differentiate, and track progress without added prep time.
Students Revise & Publish
With built-in feedback tools, read-aloud support, multilingual scaffolds, and writing guidance, students grow as creators and writers.
Schools Celebrate & Showcase
Districts host end-of-year showcases where students share their stories with families, educators, and community partners, unlocking new funding opportunities and districtwide momentum.
Proven Outcomes
Increased writing output and reading fluency
Students write far more than with traditional assignments because they’re creating something that matters to them.
Breakthrough engagement
Multilingual learners and normally disengaged students are fully participating, creating, and sharing work.
Teacher impact with less prep
Lumi helps educators reach more students, with less time spent prepping and more time spent teaching.
Showcases that build pride and momentum
Public student showcases strengthen community connection and encourage external support and funding.
