16 March 2026, San Francisco: Novakid, the award-winning online English as a Second Language (ESL) school for children, is one of the official sponsor of the ASU+GSV Summit 2026, the world’s most influential EdTech event focused on the future of education, innovation and technology running from 12 to 15 April 2025 in San Diego. The event will also mark the launch of Novakid’s AI-first language learning application, NovaPals, which is designed to provide children and teenagers with a daily speaking practice companion.
“ASU+GSV brings the most important voices in the future of education together,” says Max Azarov, CEO and co-founder of Novakid. “At Novakid, we bring a unique perspective because we operate both live teacher-led learning and AI-powered language practice at a global scale. Our data shows that AI can significantly increase student speaking time, which is one of the most critical elements of language acquisition, making NovaPals an exciting new way of creating confidence in young learners.”
The launch is perfectly in tune with this year’s theme at the event – ‘The Power of Fusion’ – which examines how AI, human ingenuity and global collaboration are creating new opportunities for learning and human development. As part of its sponsorship, Novakid will host a featured content session on 14 April entitled “AI for Kids – Surprising Learnings while Deploying at Novakid”. The session will share insights gathered from Novakid’s real-world deployment of AI-powered language learning tools and explore how AI can transform young learner experiences.
The session will also mark the official launch of NovaPals that builds on the success of Novakid’s AI tutor, Pandy. Novakid introduced Pandy inside the platform to test AI tutoring with real students and this initiative generated large quantities of data about how children interact with AI. These insights led to the creation of NovaPals, which applies those learnings in a fully AI-first product.
The team will explore how Novakid’s combination of human teaching expertise and AI-powered learning tools is shaping the next phase of the company’s growth and redefining language learning for young students.
Investors and partners attending the summit are encouraged to connect with the Novakid leadership team to learn more about the company’s AI-driven growth strategy and future expansion plans.
