This December, join educators around the world for Hour of AI—a global event celebrating curiosity, creativity, and the power of teaching with AI.

For more than a decade, Hour of Code has inspired millions of students to explore computer science. This year, Hour of AI builds on that legacy, inviting both students and teachers to discover what artificial intelligence can make possible in education.

Khan Academy is proud to partner with Code.org to help teachers build AI literacy and confidence through a free, self-paced professional learning experience. In just one hour, you’ll explore Khanmigo’s Lesson Planner, learn how “grounding” in trusted content keeps lessons accurate, and create a ready-to-use plan built on trusted Khan Academy content.

How Khanmigo’s Lesson Planner works

Khanmigo’s Lesson Planner helps you design detailed, standards-aligned plans in minutes. It’s powered by AI but guided by research-based structures created by Khan Academy educators—and it’s free to use for all teachers.

When you connect the tool to Khan Academy content, or add your own standards and objectives, you’re helping the Large Language Model stay factually correct and aligned to your classroom goals. This process, called grounding, combines AI speed with human-curated expertise to deliver lesson plans you can trust.

Try it for yourself

Here’s what your Hour of AI activity includes:

1. Get started by creating a free Khan Academy teacher account and opening the Lesson Planner.
2. Choose a topic you teach—for example, fractions, the water cycle, or Romeo and Juliet.
3. Select a lesson format and generate your first plan.
4. Add more detail or notes, then create a second plan to compare.
5. Reflect: Which version worked best? How did grounding improve accuracy?

💡 Tip: Use a topic you already know well—it makes it easier to evaluate and refine the results.
