Artificial intelligence is changing how we learn—and Alberta students are keeping pace.
Through a new partnership with the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, we’re bringing AI learning into K–12 classrooms to help students build essential skills in a safe, responsible way.

We’re partnering with @AmiiThinks to develop learning kits and teacher resources that will enhance artificial intelligence education in Alberta’s K-12 curriculum.
