Code.org is changing its name.
13 years ago, Code.org launched with a simple idea: every student should learn computer science — to learn how technology works and how to create it — not just how to use it.
After more than 2 billion hours of learning, the focus of CS has moved from coding to AI. As AI reshapes every part of daily life, students need digital fluency: the ability to understand AI, direct it, question it, and create with it — built on the foundations of computer science, AI science, and data science.
Today, Code.org enters its next chapter as CodeAI.
Our curriculum, teacher training, and frameworks, are there already: AI Discoveries and AI Foundations are free and in classrooms now. The K-12 digital sciences pathway is expanding.
Our goal is a generation with agency over the systems shaping their lives — prepared to shape the work, civic life, relationships, and meaning that come after.
Welcome to CodeAI.

As both an investor and a patron of Payam I can vouch for the efficacy of the program. My son has been taking piano lessons for 2 years, and within one week of switching to Payam, his music sounded completely different. Highly recommend!

After 2 years in “stealth mode”, we’re finally sharing about Payam Music, starting with my role:
I met Payam when he was running a small local piano school, and I saw its transformative impact on students, starting with my own son, Darius.
The Payam Method works wonders, as we hear over and over from parents and in online reviews. It has just the right mix of elements to make students fall in LOVE with playing piano and writing their own music.
Once I saw firsthand how much better learning can be with the Payam Method, I felt compelled to help spread it, leveraging my experience scaling Code.org to 100 million students. I joined as CEO two years ago, and we began hiring a team and recruiting support to help us scale.
With the recent endorsement of world-famous composer @HansZimmer, Payam Music is available in cities around the US and expanding rapidly. Our schools teach 1-on-1 lessons, in person and even online. We have limited spots, so if you or your child want to learn piano, sign up now! And if we don’t have a school near you, join our wait list, we’re growing fast.
Fall in Love with Piano

P.S. This week we’re announcing the amazing business leaders who are investors in Payam Music, to help us bring the joy of learning to more students everywhere, and also to provide children an alternative to screentime. If you’re worried about kids’ obsession with screens and social media, the solution is to give them a new obsession: piano.
❤️🎹❤️
