Serpico AI Learning Center Debuts at CEI, Advancing Arizona’s Hands-On AI Innovation

We are excited to celebrate the official launch of the Serpico AI Learning Center at the Center for Entrepreneurial Innovation (CEI), a new hands-on, in-person hub designed to help founders, operators, and teams move beyond AI theory and into real-world application.

The AI Learning Center is built for those who want to actively use AI in their work, not just learn about it from afar. Through practical, practitioner-led sessions taught by AI experts from Arizona’s innovation community, the Center focuses on building real skills, fostering collaboration, and strengthening Arizona’s growing technology ecosystem.

This new center is led by co-founders Vincent Serpico, Alex Koupal, and Michael Vanderslice, who envision the Center as a community-driven space where innovation happens through shared learning and experimentation.

“AI moves too fast for traditional education models, which are often obsolete before they even launch. We are disrupting that system completely. Our curriculum is built by active practitioners and updated within 72 hours of new developments. Whether you are an individual or a global corporation, we provide the agility needed to stay ahead.” – Alex Koupal, Chief Operations and Growth Officer 

Located at CEI, the AI Learning Center creates a collaborative environment where participants can learn alongside peers, test ideas, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving AI landscape. With AI becoming an essential capability across industries, the Center aims to provide the innovation infrastructure Arizona needs to remain competitive.
