OpenAI and CodeAI Launch AI Literacy Programs for Students and Educators
OpenAI announced a one-year partnership with CodeAI on August 18, 2026 to support practical AI literacy through Hour of AI, a planned Builders Challenge, the free AI Foundations high-school curriculum, and Career Journeys. The partnership accompanies ChatGPT for Teens but focuses on education around the technology rather than a new standalone student account. Teachers and families should separate programs that are already available from activities that still need registration details. They should verify grade, language, device, region, school policy, privacy, and account requirements before participation. CodeAI currently describes AI Foundations as a free English-language curriculum for grades 9 through 12 with no prior experience required.
