01About the Hub
Six nonprofits share open-access resources to help educators in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties teach students about AI.
This is an initiative of Remake Learning and Quill.org with resources curated from Common Sense Education, aiEDU, Day of AI, Raspberry Pi Foundation, and Stanford CRAFT.
There is no single right place to begin. Whether you're building your own understanding of AI, introducing foundational concepts, connecting AI literacy to something you already teach, or exploring its larger implications, we hope the Hub gives you a useful place to start.
02Why we exist
Help every educator in our region build students' knowledge of AI, not just their comfort using AI tools.
AI is changing quickly, and so is the work of teaching and learning about it. Knowing which buttons to press is not the same as understanding what AI is, how it learns, and how it reshapes our relationship with information.
We believe AI literacy rests on human capacities as much as technical knowledge:
So we bring trusted, open-access materials from six nonprofits into one place, shaped by local educators, so teachers can spend less time searching and more time exploring these ideas with students.
03How it came together
What do students need to understand about AI? Throughout 2026, Quill, CodeJoy, and Remake Learning brought together educators, researchers, technologists, and industry leaders across the Pittsburgh region to explore it.
Step 1
AI researchers, technologists, and industry leaders across the Pittsburgh region discussed the opportunities and tensions AI creates, and which knowledge, skills, and human capacities will matter more as it evolves.
Step 2
For a week, 16 educators connected those perspectives to real schools, built a shared understanding of AI literacy, and reviewed more than 130 resources.
Step 3
Resources from six nonprofits gathered in one place, organized so educators can find materials that fit their students and goals.
Step 4
Participating schools pilot selected resources in classrooms and share what they learn, so the work keeps improving.
04How resources were selected
There is no shortage of resources for teaching about AI. The challenge is finding ones that work for real teachers and students in real classrooms.
Rather than applying a predetermined rating system, 16 educators from across southwestern Pennsylvania shaped the review itself, weighing ease of use, student engagement, accessibility, adaptability, and support for critical thinking as they evaluated more than 130 resources.
Five qualities emerged among the resources educators found most useful:
Easy On-RampsClear entry points for different ages, abilities, and levels of prior knowledge.
Engaging By DesignOpportunities for students to discuss, investigate, create, make choices, and learn with one another.
Relevant & MeaningfulConnections to broader learning goals, subject-area knowledge, and students’ lives and interests.
Teacher-FriendlyMaterials that are easy to navigate, require reasonable preparation, and can adapt to different classrooms.
Thoughtful & TrustworthyAttention to sources, student privacy, diverse perspectives, and critical examination of AI and its outputs.
The Hub is not a definitive list of the “best” AI literacy resources, but a collection shaped by educators and designed to give other teachers useful places to begin.
05Contributing educators
They brought their experience, questions, and classroom realities to the work, helped shape the review criteria, and reviewed materials with their own students, subjects, and learning environments in mind.

06Keep the work going
AI is evolving, and so are resources for teaching about it. If you've created or discovered a free, high-quality resource for teaching and learning about AI, we'd like to hear about it.
No one has all the answers about AI. But together, we can ask better questions.
More Than Answers: What students and teachers need to understand about AI brings together perspectives from educators, researchers, technologists, and industry leaders on emerging ideas about AI literacy and what they might mean for teaching and learning.
