Schools across New Zealand are under growing pressure to build both teacher and student AI literacy, while keeping learning safe, responsible, and grounded in critical thinking. Many are unsure where to start, what ‘good’ looks like in practice, or how to do this without adding workload or risk.
Day of AI Aotearoa New Zealand was created to address this challenge with free, high-quality, classroom-ready resources designed for NZ school contexts. Part of the global Day of AI initiative developed by MIT RAISE, which has reached over 2 million students, engaged 75,000 teachers, and involved schools in 175 countries.
Day of AI Aotearoa New Zealand was invited to present at the Day of AI Summit in Dubai, where the programme was recognised as a leading example of meaningful localisation of the global initiative, showing the power of international collaboration in action, thank you to our partners and collaborators: Day of AI MIT RAISE, Day of AI Australia, Education Partnership & Innovation Trust (EPIT), TENZ (Technology Education New Zealand), Westlake Girls High School, and NZCER.
