We are entering the era of AI, where AI literacy and competence - understanding how AI works and how to use it to serve human purposes - are becoming as important as reading, writing and basic mathematics. 

Computer science and ICT teachers are at the forefront of this revolution in education and need help preparing. Help us bring AI literacy to more CS and ICT teachers. Donate 3.5% for our work with teachers!

In 2023, we were there for them with First Steps in AI for Curious Teachers: the first free introductory asynchronous, self-paced course in AI for any teacher in Romania and the Republic of Moldova. More than 600 CS and ICT teachers have used the course so far and report feeling more confident and prepared to discuss and incorporate AI into their classes.

Then, we became the first European partner of Experience AI - an 8-lesson teaching method that builds AI competencies with middle school and high school students, created by pedagogic specialists of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, one of the largest computing education foundations in the world, with the support of AI experts in Google's DeepMind. In 2024, we aim to implement this method with at least 1,500 Computer Science and ICT teachers.

27% of Romania's CS and ICT teachers are now enrolled in at least one course we created in Predau Viitor. They take better pedagogy, new coding programs and current IT industry trends to 290,000 students in over 1,100 schools. 

34% of computer science teachers enrolled in 2023 are from rural schools.
