[May 12th, 2025] — [Chicago, IL]—CodeHS, a leading provider of computer science curriculum and tools for K–12 education, is proud to announce the launch of two new AI-powered tools: AI Creator and AI Grading. These tools are built directly into the CodeHS Platform and are designed to save teachers time, support learners, and enhance instructional quality.

From writing engaging assignments to grading intricate code, educators are often challenged by the day-to-day demands of managing a computer science classroom, leaving less time for instruction and student support. That’s where CodeHS AI tools come in:

AI Creator allows teachers to instantly generate custom computer science assignments and resources with just a simple prompt. Whether creating notes, quizzes, or coding exercises, educators can produce content tailored to their students' interests—making coding more relevant and engaging.

Assignments created with AI Creator can be aligned to state and national computer science standards, ensuring rigor and consistency across classrooms. Teachers can also translate assignments into different languages, making materials more accessible for English Language Learners. With full control to review, edit, and assign AI-generated content, teachers can easily differentiate instruction and build lessons that resonate with all learners—all within the CodeHS platform.

“Our team has been working hard to build AI Creator to seamlessly fit into teachers' workflows, save them time, and increase engagement with their students. We're really excited about what we've built, and I'm looking forward to seeing what teachers do with it!” - Zach Galant, CodeHS CTO & Co-Founder

With AI Grading, students benefit from quicker, more consistent feedback on their code, helping them learn through timely iteration and clear explanations. This accelerates learning and builds confidence—especially for beginners who need frequent, formative feedback to grow as programmers.

For teachers, AI Grading significantly reduces the time spent reviewing code by providing grading suggestions based on rubrics. These suggestions help educators maintain grading consistency while allowing them to focus their time where it matters most: supporting students individually, refining instruction, and building a stronger classroom culture. Teachers remain in full control and are able to review, adjust, and approve all feedback.

“It’s [CodeHS AI Grading] been a big time-saver. It helps me quickly see who’s on track and who might need a little extra support, without spending hours grading everything manually. It’s freed me up to focus more on giving feedback where it really matters and to spend more time working directly with students." - CS Teacher at Sharyland High School in Texas

Impact on the Classroom

These tools are helping educators:

• Differentiate learning effortlessly
• Provide faster, richer feedback
