AI Literacy Day is March 27
Find virtual events, classroom activities, and professional learning opportunities to help you and your students understand — and shape — the future of AI.
AI fluency starts with AI education
Artificial intelligence is already shaping how knowledge is created, how decisions are made, and how opportunity is distributed. That means AI fluency is no longer optional — it’s foundational.
This National AI Literacy Day, we’re bringing together virtual events, ready-to-use classroom activities, and professional learning experiences to help educators confidently bring AI into their classrooms.
Whether you’re brand new to AI or ready to go deeper, you’ll find everything you need to get started — all in one place.
Events
Celebrate National AI Literacy Day with live, educator-focused sessions designed to build your confidence and help you bring AI into your classroom right away.
The AI Starter Pack Series
The AI Starter Pack: Learn It. Teach It. Create with It.
Three bite-sized virtual sessions designed to take you from AI fundamentals to real classroom implementation. Join one session or complete the full series.
Learn AI: Confidence Before the Classroom
March 10 | 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET
Start with the foundations. Cut through the hype and gain a clear, practical understanding of what AI is — and what it isn’t. You’ll explore: Core AI concepts every educator should know, how AI shows up in daily life, and where to begin with Code.org resources.
Teach AI: How AI Really Works
March 17 | 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET
Understand how AI systems are trained and how to teach those concepts clearly and confidently. You’ll explore: How AI systems learn from data, how data shapes AI decisions, and ready-to-use lessons you can implement immediately.
Create with AI: Helping Students Create and Think Critically
March 24 | 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET
Move from understanding to empowerment. Help students become thoughtful AI users — not just consumers. You’ll explore: Generative AI in the classroom, ethical and responsible AI use, and strategies to help students create, question, and collaborate with AI.
Hour of AI + STEM Next: National AI Literacy Day Made Easy
March 18 | 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET
In this interactive session, you’ll experience the Hour of AI Mix & Move activity and gain practical tools to implement engaging AI lessons in your classroom, afterschool space, or summer programming.
Teaching Students to Question AI
March 27 | 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. ET
Students often assume AI outputs are correct, neutral, or comprehensive. This session equips teachers with practical routines that help learners evaluate accuracy, detect bias, and decide when AI’s suggestions should be accepted, revised, or rejected.
Join our Professional Learning team for classroom-ready strategies that strengthen digital and media literacy while building student confidence and discernment.
