Hi hi!
If you've been thinking about applying for the Responsible AI Fellowship, this is your time. Applications close in one week (May 1 at 11:59 PM PT).
Are you a classroom teacher navigating how to integrate GenAI in your classroom?
Right now, we're all making daily decisions about how to use AI in our teaching, and honestly, most of us are figuring it out as we go. But here's the thing: these decisions shouldn't be made in isolation.
The CSTA Responsible AI Fellowship is designed for educators like us who want to move from "figuring it out" to "leading it intentionally." This is a 6-month program where you'll develop the expertise, create the resources, and build the network to be an intentional architect of GenAI integration in your classroom and beyond.
What you'll get:
- $1,000 stipend + full CSTA Annual Conference coverage
- Professional learning from educators leading responsible AI education (up to 50 contact hours with flexibility in how you participate)
- Opportunity to create a project that helps teachers nationwide use AI responsibly-something you can actually use in your own practice
- National platform to share your work (CSTA Voice, CS Ed Week, social media, and more)
- A cohort of passionate educators working through the same challenges you are
Why it matters: You're already leading where you are-whether that's in your classroom, with your colleagues, or in your community. This fellowship gives you the support, time, and resources to take that leadership further and ensure AI integration serves ALL students, not just some.
Deadline: May 1, 2026 | 11:59 PM PT
Application: 1-2 minute video + short response questions + basic info

Don't let this week pass without applying. We need educators like you shaping how AI is used in education.
