We\u2019re excited to announce Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot availability for students aged 13 and older is coming this summer with enterprise data protection and IT controls. AI provides new and unique learning opportunities when integrated thoughtfully as a complement to established practices with input from educators. A study from Microsoft Research<\/a> found that most students demonstrated remarkable curiosity when using AI, asking sophisticated questions that extended beyond their task at hand and led to deeper understanding. Further, the latest report from LinkedIn<\/a> calls for action to equip the future workforce with AI and uniquely human skills as demand is rapidly increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n We\u2019re optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead to help students advance their learning and build skills to prepare for success in their future. We\u2019ll share impact and insights from our private preview for students aged 13 and older, product details, and resources to help you get started. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasing student agency with Copilot Chat <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n Throughout our preview, we heard feedback from K-12 institutions that reinforced the importance of providing training and support for educators and students, setting appropriate guidelines, and granting permission to experiment and learn together. They also demonstrated what\u2019s possible when these needs are met. Read on for testimonials from Fulton County Schools and Brisbane Catholic Education, with more insights from our preview and resources later in the blog. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Fulton County Schools first set a foundation with an AI task force, evaluation of over 200 use cases, and alignment on critical goals such as preparing students for their future and giving every student the opportunity to learn in a way that works best for them. After initial training, educators introduced Copilot Chat as a thought partner, provided coaching on topics like prompting, and quickly saw student confidence and curiosity increase. Students used it to ideate, receive immediate feedback without judgment, design multimedia projects, identify and fix code errors, adjust content based on their preferences or pace, and manage their time. Educators are also now able to challenge them more than ever, and students are using Copilot Chat as a force multiplier to bring their ideas and passions to life in ways they couldn\u2019t previously imagine or access.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
