September 15–18, 2025

As artificial intelligence becomes a bigger part of our classrooms—and our lives—it’s more important than ever for educators to help students understand, evaluate, and responsibly use this technology. That’s why we’re hosting AI Literacy Week 2025, a week-long celebration of AI education in K–12 designed to equip teachers with the tools, frameworks, and confidence to bring AI literacy to every grade level.

Last year, we shared our approach to AI at Book Creator—centered on accessibility, student creativity, and ethical use. And we’ve taken action: our new integration with Adobe Express’s AI image generator gives students powerful creative tools while keeping the educator in control.

Whether you're just starting to explore artificial intelligence literacy in K–12 or you're looking for age-appropriate ways to teach AI literacy in elementary, middle, or high school, this event is for you. Join us for engaging webinars, inspiring author talks, and practical classroom-ready resources to help your students become AI-literate digital citizens.
