At Vista Data, we revolutionize education through AI-powered, personalized learning experiences. Our Data + AI programs provide comprehensive resources that allow students to engage with the content independently, guided by an AI tutor, while teachers take on a coaching role instead of traditional lecturing. This reimagines the classroom by fostering student autonomy and active learning.
Our process ensures that each program bridges the gap between education and industry needs. By engaging with industry-standard tools and solving real-world problems, students gain practical skills and insights that prepare them for careers across various sectors.
This approach not only enhances learning outcomes but also contributes to community development, creating a dynamic ecosystem where education, industry, and innovation intersect.
In a bold move to democratize tech education, Vista Data and Stemi have partnered to revolutionize learning in underserved urban communities, beginning in Memphis and expanding across United States.
The program's DNA, built with experts from tech giant Infobip, lies in community project-based learning, with students developing real-world AI assistants for local partners such as Imani Church and The Works, using industry-standard tools like Infobip Answers.

Central to our experience is the integration of AI and data analytics, enabling 24/7 learner engagement through personalized AI coaches.
