Creating Youth Innovation Pathways
OXIE backs projects, programmes, and events that empower the next generation with the tools and agency to create their own hope and become the architects of their futures.
We believe stewarding young people through the techno-social shift of AI is our shared responsibility, requiring collaborations between government, business, academia, the arts, youth work, and education.

The next Generation deserves a better story about the future
The year is 2035 and New Oxford is a fully automated city powered by its five districts: the Wind District, the Solar District, the Tidal District, the Fusion District, the Geothermal District.
This coming-of-age story follows non-verbal AuDHD teen, Ada Ikenna, and her support drone, ACE. She uses haptic gloves with sign-to-speech technology to communicate, with Ace as her voice.
Ada’s mother, Dr. Ikenna, invented the world’s first AGI, Adanna 6, and died in a tragic accident shortly thereafter – her technology dying with her as part of a failsafe.
On Ada’s 16th birthday, the technology reawakens and Ada accidentally unleashes it onto the fully automated city of New Oxford.
Ada and her brother, Ayden, must decide:
Will AI save humanity, or end it?
