Behind every meaningful learning moment is an educator who made it possible. Teachers invest not only their time, but their passion and heart into helping each student thrive—often going the extra mile to meet every learner where they are. They spark curiosity, build confidence, and help students see just how far they can go.

This Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re thrilled to introduce the inaugural Kahoot! Community Awards, recognizing outstanding educators who have harnessed the power of Kahoot! to create engaging, inclusive, and impactful learning experiences.
