The city council in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is declaring this Saturday,
July 27, to be "Learning AI in K-12 Day".  The date coincides with the
second annual WAICY (World Artificial Intelligence Competition for
Youth; https://www.waicy.org) sponsored by Pittsburgh-based ReadyAI.

Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, one of the birthplaces of
artificial intelligence -- and the host of the first WAICY competition
in 2018 -- tweeted about the event here:

The judging criteria for this year's WAICY include demonstration of each
team's understanding of the "Five Big Ideas in AI", as defined by the
AI4K12 Initiative at http://AI4K12.org.  The AI4K12 Initiative is a
joint project of AAAI (the Association for the Advancement of Artificial
Intelligence) and CSTA (the Computer Science Teachers Association), with
funding from the National Science Founddation.
