Ampere has been selected as one of just 14 organizations worldwide to join the 2026–2027 CodeAI (previously Code.org) Global Leaders Program. In case you don’t know, CodeAI is one of the world’s leading computer science education organizations, reaching millions of learners through free curriculum, educator training, and global initiatives such as Hour of Code and Hour of AI.
Its Global Leaders Program brings together organizations that are driving large-scale impact in their countries and regions, with a shared belief that every learner deserves access to high-quality computer science and AI education. Ampere will represent Canada in a cohort of real changemakers, sharing ideas and resources to advance digital skills and AI education around the world, and here at home!
Ampere was selected based on our past results, the combined reach and impact of both Ampere and Canada Learning Code, and our focus on integrating AI and emerging technology skills development into our hands-on programs, helping to prepare the next generation for a whole new digital world.
Over the next two years, Ampere will collaborate with education leaders from around the world, sharing ideas, learning from successful approaches in other countries, and helping shape how digital skills and AI education can reach more learners, more effectively.
We’ll bring all of that back to our Makerspaces and Skills Hubs from New Brunswick to Ontario to Iqaluit, to our online digital skills and AI workshops and training programs for people from coast-to-coast-to-coast, and our multitude of other resources.
This opportunity comes at a critical moment – as artificial intelligence continues to transform how we learn, work, and live, access to digital skills and AI literacy has never been more important. We can’t wait to share the resources and insights we gain, with learners and educators alike!
