2025 WeTeach_AI High School Hub Information 

In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, the significance of computer science education has grown beyond measure. Preparing educators to navigate and teach these transformative technologies is essential to equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. With this mission in mind, we are thrilled to announce the 2025 WeTeach_AI HS Hub—a professional development initiative designed to empower high school computer science educators with the knowledge and resources to bring AI into their classrooms.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are no longer confined to research labs—they are embedded in nearly every aspect of daily life, from health care innovations to conversational AI and smart cities. This integration underscores the urgency of embedding AI and ML concepts into educational curricula, ensuring students transition from being passive users of technology to active, ethical contributors and creators in the field.

The 2025 WeTeach_AI HS Hub aims to bridge the gap between the increasing demand for AI expertise and the resources available to educators. Through hands-on training, collaborative learning, and practical strategies, this program provides educators with the tools to inspire students to engage with AI in meaningful ways.

By joining this professional development opportunity, participants will not only refine their teaching strategies but also play a pivotal role in shaping a new generation of innovators. Together, we can foster a future where students are empowered to lead with knowledge, creativity, and responsibility in the ever-expanding world of AI.


Join our innovative teaching hub dedicated to enhancing high school education through computer science and AI!
