Help us build free AI lessons for kids.

Machine Literate is built by volunteers. If you can give a few hours, there’s a way to help.

Ways to help

Teachers

Open

Read our lessons and tell us what works in a real classroom. If you teach grades 5–12, help us plan future classroom testing. Lessons are not yet open to students.

Testers

Help us prepare future lesson testing for grades 5–12. Parents and educators can share feedback on the draft; student testing has not opened.

Lesson writers

Open

Help turn ideas into short, hands-on lessons. You don’t need to know AI well, just how to explain things clearly.

How it works

  1. 01

    Email us

    Tell us which role fits you and a little about yourself.

    Join the team

    We’ll add you to our team Slack and help you pick a first task. Prefer a call? Just ask.

    Start small

    Your first task is small, so you can see if it’s a good fit.

Questions

How much time does it take?
Whatever you can give. Most tasks take an hour or two, and there’s no minimum.
Do I need to know about AI?
No. Teachers, parents and writers are just as useful as people who know AI.
Can high school students help?
Yes. High schoolers can help review the draft and express interest in tutoring later. Lessons are not yet open to students.
Can I get volunteer hours?
We’re working on a way to log hours. If your school needs this, mention it in your email.
Will volunteers work with kids directly?
Only tutors, and only after a background check and training. Tutoring hasn’t started yet.

Not sure where you fit?

Email us anyway. Tell us what you’re good at and we’ll find something.
