Code.org Hosts National AI Literacy Day Events for Educators

Mar 27, 2026
Code.org marked National AI Literacy Day on March 27 with a series of virtual sessions and classroom activities to help teachers introduce artificial intelligence concepts to students. Amira Learning, meanwhile, emphasized the need to address reading literacy before AI literacy.

On March 27, National AI Literacy Day was observed with a series of educational events and resources coordinated by Code.org. The organization offered virtual sessions, classroom activities, and professional learning opportunities to help teachers bring AI concepts into their classrooms. The initiative included the AI Starter Pack series, featuring three one-hour sessions covering AI fundamentals, system training, and generative AI use in education.

Educators could also participate in the Hour of AI + STEM Next interactive event and a session titled Teaching Students to Question AI, which focused on helping students assess the accuracy and bias of AI outputs. Code.org emphasized that the day served as a starting point for ongoing AI education, with resources available year-round for teachers at all experience levels.

Meanwhile, in a press release, Amira Learning urged education leaders to prioritize addressing the national reading literacy crisis before focusing on AI literacy. The company noted that fewer than one-third of U.S. fourth graders read at grade level and highlighted its AI-powered reading tools, which are being used statewide in Louisiana and Oklahoma to improve student reading outcomes.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
