New AI Tools from CodeHS Help Teachers Create Engaging Assignments and Provide Faster Grades and Feedback

Chicago, Illinois, May 11, 2025 – CodeHS, a top computer science education provider for K–12 schools, has introduced two new AI-powered tools: AI Creator and AI Grading. These tools are integrated into the CodeHS Platform to assist teachers in saving time, aiding learners, and improving instructional quality.

Educators in computer science classrooms often face challenges managing various tasks like creating assignments and grading code, leaving less time for teaching and student support. CodeHS’s AI tools aim to address these challenges:

AI Creator enables teachers to generate custom computer science assignments and resources instantly with a simple prompt. From notes to quizzes and coding exercises, educators can create content tailored to their students’ interests, making coding more relevant and engaging.

Assignments made with AI Creator can align with state and national computer science standards, ensuring consistency across classrooms. Teachers can also translate assignments into different languages, increasing accessibility for English Language Learners. Teachers have full control to review, edit, and assign AI-generated content, allowing them to customize instruction and create engaging lessons within the CodeHS platform.

Zach Galant, CodeHS CTO & Co-Founder, expressed excitement about the AI Creator tool, emphasizing its goal of saving teachers time and boosting student engagement.

AI Grading provides students with quicker, more consistent feedback on their code, aiding in faster learning and confidence-building, particularly for novice programmers who benefit from regular feedback.

For teachers, AI Grading streamlines code review by offering grading suggestions based on rubrics, ensuring grading consistency. This allows teachers to focus on supporting students, refining instruction, and fostering a positive classroom environment. Teachers have the final say and can review, adjust, and approve all feedback.

Educators have praised these tools for simplifying differentiation, providing faster feedback, creating real-world computer science connections, and enabling more time for teaching and student interaction.
