MIT RAISE is committed not only to creating programs that improve AI literacy; it also measures those programs’ impact. Alongside our recently published impact report on MIT FutureMakers, we are proud to show off the accomplishments of Day of AI over the past year:
Day of AI 2024 saw remarkable global engagement, with participants from over 170 countries registering and accessing our curricula. Over 30,000 educators implemented Day of AI activities worldwide, bringing AI education to students across diverse learning environments, including urban schools, remote rural communities, homeschools, and afterschool programs. Educators worldwide translated and adapted the lessons. Over a million students have now learned about AI literacy from Day of AI curriculum.
2024 was a year of major international expansion. FPT University helped Day of AI reach 700 teachers and over 10,000 students in Vietnam, including local translation of curricula. We saw extraordinary growth in India, with over 4,000 teachers delivering Day of AI curricula to more than 130,000 students, and in Latin America, with 9,000 teachers and 450,000 students. Day of AI Australia, an independent spin-off, now has curricula placed in over 300 schools, where 500 teachers have taught AI literacy to 75,000 students.
This year’s curriculum additions and updates included a new one on climate change, whose release was announced at our Day of AI celebration event at the Boston Museum of Science. Watch:
