Students culminate their AI literacy journey by designing an AI solution for a real-world problem. They focus on responsible design, identifying potential biases, and ensuring societal benefit.

Students analyze the ethical implications of AI on privacy and identity. They explore deepfakes, facial recognition, and the balance between security and personal freedom.

Middle school students dive into the mechanics of Large Language Models (LLMs). They learn about tokenization, probability, and how AI "predicts" the next word in a sequence.

Students explore the "ingredients" of AI: datasets. They learn how biased or incomplete data can lead to unfair or inaccurate AI systems and practice creating a balanced dataset.

Students learn to critically evaluate AI outputs by identifying "hallucinations" and factual errors. They explore why AI sometimes makes mistakes and how to verify information.

Students explore Generative AI and the importance of prompt engineering. They learn how to communicate effectively with AI to create specific images and text.

Students discover how AI works as a "smart assistant" in daily life. They identify AI in common devices and reflect on how it helps people solve problems.

Students explore the foundation of AI learning: pattern recognition. They learn that computers need many examples (data) to understand rules and make predictions.

Introduces the concept of AI by distinguishing between a robot's physical body and its digital 'brain'. Students explore how AI 'thinks' differently than humans and machines.

A reading comprehension lesson for 4th-grade EL students focusing on sea turtles, using visual supports and leveled text to build vocabulary and understanding of life cycles.
