Code.org 2024-25 Impact Report

This year marks a pivotal moment, for Code.org and for the future of education. AI is reshaping every aspect of our world, yet most students still lack the opportunity to learn how it works, manage it, or shape its future. For over a decade, Code.org has expanded access to computer science education worldwide, serving as a trusted partner for policymakers, educators, and advocates. Now, as the focus of computer science shifts from coding to AI, we are evolving to prepare every student for an AI-powered world. Here’s what we know: AI doesn’t replace CS. It depends on it. The foundations of AI — algorithms, data science, ethics, systems — are rooted in computer science. To give students true agency in an AI-powered world, AI+CS education must be part of the K–12 core; empowering every student to create with AI, not just consume it. Over the past year, we updated our mission: to ensure every student in every school has the opportunity to learn artificial intelligence and computer science education as part of their K–12 journey. We’ve focused our team’s skills and resources on bridging where the field has been with where it’s going. Building on data from millions of teachers engaged, global curriculum reach, and deep policy influence, we are ready to meet this moment at unprecedented scale. In the pages ahead, you’ll see how your partnership fueled remarkable progress this year. From new AI-integrated curricula reaching classrooms worldwide to policy victories that expand access for every student, everywhere. You’ll see the direct impact of your support in preparing the next generation to thrive in the age of AI. And this is only the beginning. In the year ahead, we’ll ignite the first-ever Hour of AI to engage more than 25 million learners, scale age-appropriate AI curriculum and tools to help put these skills within reach of every student and teacher, and continue shaping the global conversation through our leadership of AI education policy. Together, we can make AI+CS education foundational, ensuring every student can not only use AI, but understand it, create with it, and shape its future. Thank you for believing in this vision and making it possible. Hadi Partovi
