Each year, we are impressed by the passion and dedication of the education community, and the Kami Heroes program is a reflection of these unique qualities that our community holds.
On behalf of the team at Kami, a huge thank you to all 200+ educators who took the time to apply for the Kami Heroes program this year. It was exciting and inspiring to learn more about how you use Kami and its impact on the students in your classroom.
All applications were thoroughly reviewed, and we appreciate the effort you have put into your entries. We are so lucky to have a growing community of educators who want to share their 💜 of Kami to others – thank you!
Now, for the announcement you have all been waiting for… our caped Heroes are now ready to be revealed!
