As students across Tennessee returned to school this August, they embarked on a groundbreaking journey: the first year where computer science is a formal graduation requirement. At Kira Learning, we're incredibly honored to be Tennessee's partner in this transformative initiative. Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the privilege of onboarding tens of thousands of users each week, leading to a surge in daily and weekly active users. This rapid growth has been a true testament to our platform’s scalability and our team’s dedication. While it has certainly been a challenge, we’ve been energized by the overwhelmingly positive outcomes and the opportunity to support so many teachers and students. What I think truly sets Kira Learning apart is our unwavering commitment to our customers. As a team, we genuinely care about the success of the teachers and students we serve. This isn't just a job for us—it's a deeply held belief that their success is our success. It's a critical part of our culture, and something we are all incredibly proud of. In an era where AI's role in education is hotly debated, we've seen firsthand how thoughtfully implemented AI can democratize access to quality computer science education and technical subjects more generally. Our AI doesn't replace teachers—it empowers them, enabling more personalized instruction and reducing administrative burdens, while also accommodating varying levels of familiarity with computer science among teachers themselves. When we founded Kira, we envisioned using AI to make computer science accessible to all K-12 students. By lowering barriers to effective teaching and learning, we're helping unlock students' potential and preparing them for a tech-driven future. I'm immensely proud of what our small but mighty team has achieved, and deeply grateful for the trust and confidence of our partners. Their dedication to our mission, even during the most demanding periods, has been nothing short of inspirational. The future of AI in education is bright, and Kira Learning is at the forefront. We're just getting started.
