Raspberry Pi Launches $4.6M AI Education Expansion in Latin America with Google Partnership
  • The initiative plans to train 24,000 educators and reach 1.25 million students by 2028, expanding an existing program that brings AI concepts and real-world applications into multiple subjects.

  • Experience AI offers free classroom resources—lesson plans, activities, and teaching materials—developed with Google DeepMind, focusing on data use, AI-driven misinformation, and responsible use of generative AI tools.

  • The Foundation emphasizes a holistic approach to AI education, asserting that access to tools must be matched with knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand and create AI technologies.

  • The program was named a laureate of UNESCO’s 2025 King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICT in Education.

  • The regional rollout targets Latin America and the Caribbean—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay—using a train-the-trainer model and local education partners to scale teacher development.

  • Globally, Experience AI already reaches about 2.9 million young people and 30,000 educators, with resources used in more than 180 countries and available in 19 languages.

  • The program centers AI literacy and critical understanding, enabling students to build their own AI applications while examining the social and ethical implications of AI.

  • Raspberry Pi Foundation is expanding Experience AI in Latin America with a $4.6 million Google.org grant to train educators and reach students by 2028.
