The Hour of AI website, created in partnership by CSforALL and Code.org, offers free, hands-on activities that introduce students to artificial intelligence in a meaningful and accessible way. It provides ready-to-use tutorials, teacher guides, event registration tools, and multilingual resources to help K-12 educators lead engaging hour-long AI learning experiences without needing prior expertise. Teachers can choose from unplugged or tech-enabled activities that connect to any subject area, helping students explore AI concepts, creativity, and the responsible use of technology. Topics/activities include AI Quests, Minecraft Hour of AI: The First Night, AI HackStack: Poetry in Motion, Vibe Coding: Build Your First Game Using AI, Dance Party: AI Edition, and countless others! The site also includes downloadable posters, email templates, and resource toolkits that make it easy to plan, launch, and promote an event at school, giving teachers a friendly and practical entry point for building AI literacy and empowering students to become thoughtful creators of technology. If your district blocks YouTube, then the videos may not be viewable.

In the Classroom

Have students explore how computers recognize objects by sorting pictures into groups, then compare their choices to an AI model's results. Discuss how AI "learns" from examples and what happens when data is biased or incomplete. Challenge students to imagine an AI system that could solve a real-world problem in their community, such as recycling or accessibility. They can create posters or short videos using Adobe Express Video Maker, reviewed here to pitch their ideas, emphasizing creativity and ethical use. Show one of the Hour of AI introduction videos, then have students brainstorm where AI appears in their daily lives, such as music recommendations, navigation apps, or digital assistants, and present their findings with examples.
