    There is an exciting opportunity for 4th to 8th grade teachers offered by BootupPD. See their message below to learn more.

    We are excited to share that BootUp has partnered with the Micro:bit
    Educational Foundation to launch the micro:bit CreateAI Pilot Program,
    a year-long opportunity for 4th–8th grade teachers to bring hands-on
    AI learning into their classrooms.

    We will be supporting 300 teachers during the 2026–2027 school year
    with free micro:bit devices, ready-to-use lessons, and ongoing
    professional learning from BootUp to help students explore AI through
    movement and machine learning.

    We'd love your help getting the word out! If anyone comes to mind,
    please consider:

    Sharing the attached flyer with educators or school partners
    Posting or resharing the attached social media graphics (sample
    language is at the bottom of this email)
    Resharing posts from any of the BootUp social media pages
    Recommending teachers who you think would be a great fit

    Applications close June 30, and our goal is to reach 300 4th-8th grade
    educators across the country. We'd greatly appreciate your help
    sharing this opportunity with your educator networks and
    educator-facing organizations.

    Thanks so much for helping us spread the word and expand access to
    meaningful, hands-on AI learning. We really appreciate your support!
