The AI Play team is working closely with rural middle grades educators and students at partner locations in North Carolina on the design, development, and implementation of the AI Play learning environment. If you are interested in partnering with us, please complete our online form to let us know.
Involvement in the AI Play project will afford participating schools and clubs the opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary project team that is researching advanced educational technologies. Students and educators at partner locations will assist in the co-design of AI Play activities as well as testing the learning environment. Further, educators have the opportunity to participate in professional development sessions (at no charge) to help educators develop computer science/artificial intelligence skills as well as knowledge of best practices to leverage these skills in classrooms and club settings.
