The Chat for Learning & AI Accelerator, led by Turn.io with support from the Gates Foundation and Anthropic, is a global programme designed to fast-track the adoption of chat and AI-powered solutions that improve how students learn and teachers teach, especially in low-resource settings. We’ll select five high-potential education organisations to design, test, and scale impactful digital learning services.
