About us
The AI Education Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that creates equitable learning experiences that excite and empower students everywhere with AI literacy. We believe that everyone—especially those who are likely to be disproportionately impacted by AI systems—should have access to the conceptual knowledge and skills they need to thrive as workers, creators, consumers, and citizens. Our Theory of Change is centered on working directly with school districts to empower educators, schools, districts, and other education organizations with accessible curricula and learning resources that make it easy for any teacher to easily integrate learning experiences that spark curiosity and excitement about AI. We seek to make AI education a part of every single students’ education, and build curricula and professional development offerings that connect AI to core subjects in addition to Computer Science and Career & Technology Education — which breaks down barriers and bottlenecks at resource-strapped school districts.

Last week, aiEDU joined a professional learning workshop at Red Wing Senior High School in Minnesota to help district staff become better acquainted with AI in the classroom. Our Senior Programs Lead LeNard P. helped lead the daylong session with Red Wing school administrators and teachers. You can read more about it on our blog: https://lnkd.in/ghAQpcmS (Also, not to brag, but Red Wing Public Schools recently received a grant through aiEDU’s Rural & Indigenous Community Catalyst Program!)

As members of the National AI Literacy Day Steering Committee, we're proud to release the 2025 National AI Literacy Day Impact Report. 📖 This isn't just a graphic, it's a powerful call to action: AI literacy is a national imperative for K-12 education. Our collaborative efforts on AI Literacy Day brought together many different people and organizations to champion a shared vision for equipping students with the skills to navigate an AI-powered world responsibly. The 2025 report outlines the critical need for a national definition of AI literacy – the knowledge, skills, and competencies to safely use and understand AI and critically evaluate its implications, limitations, and ethical considerations. To our partners and potential funders: This report demonstrates the widespread commitment and urgency around this vital cause. Let's discuss how we can accelerate this movement. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eXkpmxG9 And read our recap of the day here: https://lnkd.in/g_QHigQV #AILiteracy #EducationPolicy #FutureWorkforce #EdTech #NationalImpact #Partnerships Common Sense Media, EDSAFE AI Alliance, The Tech Interactive
