ZeroBlue · ZBCertED Educator Certification
Your state has guidance.
Now your educators need credentials.

State guidance documents describe what AI literacy should look like. They do not build a road to get there. ZBCertED is the structured, standards-aligned certification program that closes the gap for individual educators and entire districts. Aligned to AI4K12, ISTE, CSTA, NC DPI, and NC Digital Learning Competencies, it is eligible for Title II-A and Title IV-A federal funding in every state.
