Just before summer break, Mr. Fire was selected as a member of the 2026 CSTA Responsible AI Fellowship cohort!

The Computer Science Teachers Association selected 15 PreK-12 educators from more than 120 applicants for this six-month leadership program focused on ethical, inclusive, and transformative approaches to AI education.

“I’m honored to join this cohort and excited to keep building responsible, student-centered approaches to AI education. This fellowship is a meaningful opportunity to learn from other educators and bring that learning back to Jefferson Academy.”

~ Mr. Fire

This program addresses the critical need for educators who can navigate the complex landscape of AI education while ensuring responsible innovation in classrooms. The program brings together 15 fellows who form a dynamic learning community, supporting each other as emerging leaders and driving system-wide change in AI education through collaborative learning and peer mentorship.

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Fire on such a great achievement!
