Google Offers Free AI Tools and Training Across Missouri

Google announced a statewide education partnership with Missouri on September 8, in a press release. Nearly 100,000 educators and more than 1.1 million students in primary, secondary and higher education can receive free access to AI tools, training and industry credentials.

The program includes Gemini for Education and Gemini Notebook for lesson planning, coursework support, assessment creation, writing feedback and administrative work. Educators and administrators can also take the Google AI Educator Series at their own pace and earn microcredentials.

Google Career Certificates cover AI, cybersecurity, data analytics, IT support, project management, digital marketing and user experience design. Missouri residents can access the courses through local Missouri Job Centers. Schools and colleges will decide whether and how to adopt the tools, while institutions retain administrative control over their use.
