Code.org has rebranded as CodeAI, pivoting from computer science education to broader "digital fluency." The headline stat: 84% of students already use AI, yet only 16% of high school leaders say all their students are learning about it in school.
Key initiatives:
- Free AI Foundations curriculum (grades 9-12), from understanding how AI works to building web apps with AI
- AI Discoveries course for grades 6-8
- Teacher training and classroom tools
- Policy advocacy to make digital fluency a graduation requirement
The post also rounds up 50 free educational resources for kids (Scratch, Blockly Games, CodeCombat, PhET, NASA Space Place, etc.) spanning coding, science, math, and reading.
