CodeAI Wins Four Best of STEM® 2026 Awards

The winners of the 2026 Best of STEM® Awards have been announced. We’re honored to reveal that CodeAI took home four wins in a brand-new category built to answer a question every district is asking: What AI tools can you actually trust in the classroom?

We won four awards out of the six nominations we received in the “Best of AI” category. New for 2026, this category is judged specifically on how well AI tools ensure safe, ethical use in the classroom:

• Educators Pick - Best of AI for AI Literacy: AI Foundations

• Educators Pick - Best of AI for AI Professional Development: AI Teaching Assistant

• Educators Pick - Best of AI for K–8 Coding: Mix & Move with AI

• Educators Pick - Best of AI for Computer Science: Web Lab

Every winner was selected by certified classroom teachers, specialists, and district leaders, and rated on a Net Promoter Score by the educators who evaluated it. It's one of the only award programs judged entirely by working STEM educators rather than industry panels.

"This year, we introduced a new AI category for Best of STEM as our judges focused on safe and ethical AI use in their evaluations," said Annie Galvin Teich, president of The Teich Group and lead judge for the awards in a Best of STEM press release.

"Whether you're a classroom teacher looking for hands-on science kits, a CTE director building career and technical education pathways, or a curriculum leader seeking professional development for STEM teachers, these are the solutions your peers have tested and loved.”
