Thrilled to share that Microsoft is collaborating with the National 4-H Council to equip 1.4 million young people across the U.S., including many small towns and rural communities, with vital AI skills through Minecraft Education’s new AI Foundations curriculum. This initiative provides young people with access to valuable resources, enabling them to learn how to use AI tools confidently and responsibly. Throughout the year, 4-H will also lead "train the trainer" sessions, empowering educators to bring #AI resources to students. This effort is especially important, as nearly 75% of students say they want support from adults to learn how to use AI tools. Through collaborations like this, we’re preparing the next generation to explore the possibilities of emerging technology and succeed in an AI-driven world. ⬇️ Learn more about this collaboration: https://lnkd.in/gaPhy4kw #AISkilling
