Who We Are at Future Fusion AI Academy
Our History
Future Fusion AI Academy was founded by Dr. Chun Lei He, an AI leader with over 15 years of experience in machine learning, computer vision, and advanced analytics.
The Academy began in 2024 as a community initiative in Oakville, Ontario, with the mission to make AI education accessible to youth and adults through hands-on learning and real-world projects.
Its early programs introduced AI and coding to middle and high school students through creative projects such as AI in Games, AI in Arts, AI for Environmental Protection, and Smart Waste Classification Systems.
In 2025, the Academy expanded its impact through collaborations with schools, local organizations, and innovation programs, including the Technovation Girls (in progress) initiative, which empowers girls aged 8–18 to solve real-world problems using technology and entrepreneurship.
Future Fusion AI Academy continues to build bridges between AI education, innovation, and community development, preparing the next generation to understand, apply, and lead with artificial intelligence responsibly and creatively.
