Helping young people build a real digital presence.

Making the invisible visible.

AiEmpoweredU.org is a small, very practical experiment: use simple, reliable web tech and AI-assisted workflows to help students and early-career entrepreneurs launch real sites, not just school projects.

I’m building this as a bridge between the classroom and the real world — where a student’s idea can turn into a working website, a custom domain, and a place for their work to actually live.

About the creator
AiEmpoweredU.org was created by Seán Muggivan, a high-school Data Science and AI teacher in New Orleans. After years of working with students who have talent, ambition, and stories worth sharing — but no online presence — he realized something simple: a $10 domain and a basic website can change opportunities.

This project is a practical experiment in digital access — helping students and young entrepreneurs build real websites, with their own names, ownership, and control. No subscriptions, no corporate platforms, no gatekeeping — just the tools to be visible.

Why AiEmpoweredU exists

The short version: a lot of young people have incredible, but invisible talent. No website, no portfolio, no simple “here’s what I do and how to reach me.”

At the same time, AI has made it possible for one teacher with some hardware and patience to help students ship real, professional-looking sites at very low cost.

What this project aims to do

• Help students and young entrepreneurs describe what they do in clear language.
• Stand up focused sites on custom domains, not just “link in bio” pages.
• Build a repeatable system schools and small organizations can reuse.

Current stage: building the first wave of example sites, tightening the workflow, and proving this can run on modest resources — school desktops, mini PCs, and a stubborn refusal to overcomplicate things.

Support the first wave of student sites

Every contribution helps a young person in New Orleans launch a real website with a real domain — something they can put on job applications, scholarship forms, and business cards. The goal is simple: make opportunity visible.

GoFundMe may suggest higher donation amounts by default — please ignore those. AiEmpoweredU is intentionally built so a single $10 gift can make something real happen. Small contributions are not just welcome — they’re the whole point.

Donations go toward domain registrations, simple hosting, and ongoing support so students don't lose their digital home when the school year ends.
