1,400 educators joined our Badge-a-thon: Day of AI Learning.

Oct 01, 2026

The Google AI Educator Series recently hosted our first-ever Badge-a-thon, a 10-hour, live drop-in festival where more than 1,400 educators built confidence with classroom AI tools, earning over 4,000 digital badges.

The live format moved teachers past hesitation directly into active workflows. From designing rubrics to reading comprehension, teachers walked away with practical ideas — plus pathways to convert badges into CEUs and graduate credits.

Missed the live broadcast? Catch all 20 on-demand sessions on our YouTube channel and grab the “Badge-a-thon in a Box” toolkit to run a local event with your staff. Claim your first badge today and check our calendar for upcoming regional sessions.
