The Raspberry Pi Foundation has secured $4.6 million in funding from Google.org to expand its Experience AI program across Latin America. This initiative aims to train 24,000 educators and reach 1.25 million students by 2028, focusing on teaching AI literacy, identifying AI-generated misinformation, and promoting responsible AI use.
Program Overview
The Experience AI program, developed in partnership with Google DeepMind, provides free classroom resources, including lesson plans, activities, and teaching materials designed for use across subjects and settings. The program introduces students to core AI concepts, such as how data is used in AI systems, how to identify AI-generated misinformation, and how to use generative AI tools responsibly.
Raspberry Pi Foundation expands AI education in Latin America with $4.6M Google.org funding! Empowering 1.25 million students with AI literacy and confidence.
Regional Rollout
The expansion will be delivered through a network of local education partners, using a train-the-trainer model to support teacher development at scale. The Raspberry Pi Foundation will work with partners across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay.

Focus on AI Literacy
The program includes opportunities for students to build their own AI applications, alongside structured lessons that explore the social and ethical implications of AI technologies. The Foundation states that young people need “more than access to AI tools: they need the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand and create their own AI tools.”
Key takeaways
- AI Education: Raspberry Pi Foundation expands Experience AI program in Latin America.Funding: $4.6 million from Google.org to support the expansion.Goals: Train 24,000 educators and reach 1.25 million students by 2028.
Looking Ahead
The expansion builds on the program’s existing footprint, which has reached an estimated 2.9 million young people and trained 30,000 educators globally. Experience AI resources are currently used in more than 180 countries and available in 19 languages.
By providing young people with the skills and knowledge to understand and shape a world with AI, the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google.org are empowering the next generation of innovators and leaders. Learn more about AI education and digital skills development.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
