Artificial intelligence is everywhere — shaping how we work, learn, and live.

Now, it’s time to give every learner the chance to understand AI, create with AI, and shape the future of AI.

The Hour of AI is a bold new initiative to demystify AI literacy for 25 million students, educators, and families by inviting them to engage in hands-on learning experiences that change them from passive consumers of AI to confident creators. 

Spread the word, host an event, encourage your school to participate, or try the Hour of AI yourself.

Everyone can benefit from learning AI literacy. Let’s step into this new era together.

Dear Parents,

We all dream of a bright future for our children. In today’s digital world, their success will increasingly depend on understanding how artificial intelligence works — and how to use it responsibly.

That’s why [SCHOOL NAME] is excited to participate in a new global movement: the Hour of AI. This learning experience introduces students to the basics of AI — what it is, what it can and can’t do, and how to use and create with it responsibly.

Through hands-on, fun activities, your children will explore how AI can be used to imagine, build, and solve real-world problems. They’ll begin to see AI not as magic, but as a tool they can understand and shape.

We want to make our Hour of AI event at [SCHOOL NAME] truly impactful. To do that, we need your support! You can help by volunteering at the event, sharing it with other parents, and encouraging our community to get involved in preparing students for the future. Bonus points go out to parents who experience Hour of AI activities themselves! Explore AI alongside your child and see firsthand what the excitement is all about.

This is our chance to ensure every student in [TOWN/CITY NAME] has the skills and confidence to thrive in an AI era.

Let’s prepare our children for the future, together. To learn more, visit HourofAI.org.
