This initiative, powered by KEDC in collaboration with the AI Education Project (aiEDU), is designed to empower Kentucky educators and students with the tools, training, and resources needed to thrive in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. The Think aiEDU program is part of KEDC’s and aiEDU’s effort to build AI literacy and readiness in rural and Appalachian communities.

Both Levey and Przygoda, representing Fayette County Schools , will join a cohort of forty Kentucky educators who are working together to explore responsible AI use in classrooms.
Participants will receive professional development, access to national AI curriculum resources, and opportunities to connect with a statewide network of teacher leaders. Reflecting on her participation in the Think aiEDU Grant, Lynn Przygoda shared, “At Leestown, our choir is about more than just music, it’s about connection, culture, and creativity.
Every day I see how the arts give students a voice, a safe place to belong, and the confidence to share their stories. With KEDC’s Think aiEDU Grant, I can’t wait to explore how AI can amplify those experiences for my students and open new doors in their learning.
Whether it’s helping them dive deeper into the history behind the music we sing, giving them tools to create and compose in new ways, or supporting our English Language Learners as they find their place in the choir, I believe AI can strengthen the heart of what we do. I am honored to be part of this journey and excited to bring these innovations back to Leestown, where our students are the future.
