CodeHS, the leading computer science education platform for K-12 school districts, has introduced a new K-12 Artificial Intelligence (AI) curriculum and professional development. The new CodeHS AI curriculum provides several introductory courses for middle and high schools and dozens of projects for grades K-12 that can be incorporated as a standalone or integrated into an existing course. New AI courses include Introduction to AI for Middle School, Introduction to AI for High School, and Applications of AI and Machine Learning.
As AI tools continue to change the technology landscape, districts are presented with a unique opportunity to develop their AI strategy. CodeHS, recognizing this need, has launched new professional development workshops and courses. These resources are designed to give teachers and administrators the confidence and skills to teach and use AI effectively. The workshops are available in various formats and tailored to K-12 computer science teachers, non-CS teachers, or administrators, ensuring that everyone can benefit from this unique opportunity.
Jeremy Keeshin, CEO of CodeHS, commented on the development:
We’re hearing from many districts that they want to do something with AI, but they don’t know what to do yet. This gives district leaders the answer: engaging K-12 projects, new AI courses, and PD that helps educators bring AI into their classrooms.
CodeHS, co-founded in 2012 by Zach Galant and Jeremy Keeshin, acknowledges the diversity of classrooms and designs its curriculum with all students’ needs in mind, regardless of background. With its headquarters in San Francisco, the platform is based on the belief that every student should have access to a top-notch education, regardless of language obstacles and that coding is an essential ability for the 21st century. The company aims to give every student the tools they need to make a real difference in the future. Building an outstanding curriculum, tools, and resources to allow high schools to teach computer science, the platform can directly benefit students and help them explore the limitless computing world. CodeHS also believes that expanding access to computer science education will empower students to create the future actively.
