AI Literacy & Computer Science for K-12

Bring AI & Coding Literacy to Your School — Without Hiring

States are beginning to expect AI literacy in the classroom, and most districts don't have the staff, curriculum, or time to build it. CodeWithUs delivers a turnkey, standards-aligned AI and computer science program for 2nd–12th grade — live instructors, zero IT lift, in-person at your campus or live virtual.

Students learn to build with AI — ChatGPT, Claude Code, and agentic AI — alongside the coding fundamentals your CS standards already require, on project-based curriculum with progress reporting your board can read.

AI Programs for Schools

Named-tool fluency, not generic 'AI for kids'. Every track below is a real course your students can start this semester.

ChatGPT for Students

Prompting, research, study workflows, and where AI gets it wrong — taught as an academic skill with honesty and citation built in.

  • 42 lessons
  • Grades 5-12
  • AI ethics & academic integrity
Explore program

Claude Code

Students describe what they want in plain language and ship working software with an AI pair-programmer — the way software is actually built now.

  • 42 lessons
  • Grades 7-12
  • Real projects, not toy exercises
Explore program

Agentic AI

Building AI agents that plan, use tools, and act autonomously — the frontier track for students who have already outgrown chatbots.

  • Ages 13-18
  • Capstone agent project
  • Advanced elective
Explore program

AI Literacy & Ethics

What AI is, how it fails, bias, privacy, and responsible use — the foundation layer that satisfies emerging state AI-literacy expectations.

  • Grades 2-12
  • Standards-aligned
  • No prior coding needed

The AI Learning Ladder

Five levels, mapped to your grade bands

Every rung is a course we already teach. Districts can start at any level and run several in parallel across grade bands.

  1. 1

    Use AI

    Grades 5-12 42 lessons

    ChatGPT for Students

    Prompting, research and study workflows — and where AI gets things wrong. The entry point, and the one every student needs whether or not they ever write code.

    See this level
  2. 2

    Understand AI

    Grades 3-12 No coding needed

    AI & Machine Learning

    What a model actually is: data, training, pattern recognition, bias. Students stop treating AI as magic and start treating it as a system that can be wrong.

    See this level
  3. 3

    Build the Fundamentals

    Grades 2-12 The prerequisite

    Scratch · Python · JavaScript · 15+ topics

    The coding underneath. This is deliberately in the middle of the ladder, not before it — students who can read code are the ones who can tell when AI has handed them something broken.

    See this level
  4. 4

    Code with AI

    Grades 7-12 42 lessons · fundamentals first

    Claude Code

    Directing an AI pair-programmer to build real software. We gate this behind the rung above on purpose: a student who has not written code cannot judge the code AI writes for them.

    See this level
  5. 5

    Build AI

    Grades 8-12 Capstone project

    Agentic AI

    Designing agents that plan, use tools and act on their own. The top of the ladder, for students who have outgrown using someone else's AI and want to build their own.

    See this level

Fundamentals before AI assistance. Levels 4 and 5 are gated behind real coding ability — we do not hand a student an AI pair-programmer before they can read what it writes. Placement is assessed per student, so a class can run mixed levels without holding anyone back.

Two ways to get started

See the program with your own students, or talk it through with our school team first — whichever suits your district's process.

Book a Free Trial Class

A live session with your students and one of our instructors, on the topic you choose — AI, Python, Scratch, or anything else in the curriculum. No cost, no commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer 2 options in total regarding instruction - our most popular is a hybrid instruction where a live virtual instructor guides your class through each lesson. Due to cost and teacher availability, this is our most popular option. We do however have instructors across the country to offer in-person instruction as well at school campuses.

All classes are live instructor driven. Our instructors are Computer Science graduates and students from the top U.S. universities, they are thoroughly vetted for their coding skills and teaching ability before joining our team.

Sample class videos on popular topics:

Software Development in Python
Online Class Video - Python

Web Development in HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Our curriculum can accommodate students of all levels. As students grow and learn, the curriculum and lessons would grow along with them. We offer classes in 15+ coding languages, popular class topics are Scratch, Python, AI, JavaScript, Minecraft Modding, Robotics and Roblox Lua.

We typically have approximately 15 students per instructor but we can coordinate multiple classes simultaneously or based on your school schedule.

Each class is one hour in length and the overall duration of the curriculum can be tailored for the school district or school by school, whichever might be under consideration.

Students would need access to a Chromebook - at minimum - to effectively learn and participate in each topic. We also utilize Computer Labs in schools to facilitate classes.

We offer a free trial class with no obligation. Our pricing begins at $125/hr per class and varies depending on the type of instruction chosen. We do provide a volume discount based on the length of the engagement.

Our program includes our exclusive student portal, unique game/project based design curriculum, lesson plans for our instructors, class updates and tests/quizzes so classes can be considered for course credit. Chromebooks are the minimum technology requirement for class, Code With Us will take care of everything else.
