Digital Moment

What Digital Moment does

Digital Moment is a Montreal-based Canadian charity founded in 2013 that delivers AI literacy, coding, and digital literacy education to Canadian youth (ages 9-21) and the educators who teach them. Its portfolio of programs includes the AI Learning Lab, Social Innovation Lab, Digital2030 Challenge, Code Club, Astro Pi Challenge, Coolest Projects Canada, and Experience AI—the latter delivered exclusively in Canada through a partnership with the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind. Supporting resources include a free bilingual (English/French) K-12 lesson platform at learn.digitalmoment.org, a cybersecurity curriculum co-developed with CIRA, and the National AI Literacy Framework for Canadian elementary and secondary education.

The organization's technology layer is a web-based educational platform comprising multiple learning management surfaces (learn.digitalmoment.org, resources.digitalmoment.org) and content libraries, augmented by community-based volunteer delivery through Code Clubs and event-based programming at conferences such as Startupfest. Digital Moment maintains a National AI Council for strategic governance and operates as a registered Canadian charity (Registration No 812448538RR0001) headquartered at 360 rue Saint Jacques in Montreal. Its distribution model combines digital self-serve, school board partnerships (e.g., OCSB), volunteer networks, and strategic alliances with Microsoft Canada, the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, AppDirect, Telus, RBC Foundation, TD Bank, Accenture, ScaleAI, 1Password, and TikTok.

As a nonprofit, Digital Moment generates revenue through donations, charitable contributions, corporate partnerships, and government grants rather than fees from end users; all programs are provided free of charge. The organization has cumulatively trained over 34,400 educators, engaged more than one million youth, delivered over 3,000 workshops, and operates with a small team of under 50 employees, achieving scale primarily through partner leverage, volunteer networks, and educator training rather than direct service delivery.

Core offering

Digital Moment is a Canadian nonprofit that delivers free AI literacy, coding, digital skills, and cybersecurity education programs to youth ages 9-21 and the educators who support them. The organization develops and disseminates K-12 curriculum (including the National AI Literacy Framework), runs hands-on learning labs, and operates signature national programs such as Code Club, AI Learning Lab, Social Innovation Lab, Coolest Projects Canada, Digital2030 Challenge, and Astro Pi Challenge Canada, complemented by an online learning platform at learn.digitalmoment.org.

Product overview

Digital Moment is a Montreal-based charity and Canada's leader in AI and digital literacy education for youth, operating since 2013. Its offering is a portfolio of interconnected educational programs and resources — not a unified software product. The core programs include the AI Learning Lab (AI and entrepreneurship workshops for youth), the Social Innovation Lab (a facilitator toolkit and program for youth aged 14–21), the Digital2030 Challenge (an annual SDG-focused digital challenge), Coolest Projects Canada (a youth project showcase event), Code Club (volunteer-led coding clubs for ages 9–13), and the Astro Pi Challenge (ESA-affiliated space-coding challenge). Supporting these programs are curriculum products: a free K–12 Lesson Plans platform (learn.digitalmoment.org) covering coding, AI, and cybersecurity; Experience AI (an AI education framework from Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind, delivered exclusively in Canada through Digital Moment); the AI in Your Everyday Life bilingual resource hub (with games, guides, and films); the National AI Literacy Framework (a standards document for Canadian K–12 education); and a Cybersecurity Curriculum (bilingual, ages 4+). A National AI Council provides strategic governance. All programs are free to access and emphasise equity, accessibility, and technology-for-good.
