This set of units is designed to give students foundational AI Literacy skills to thrive in our ever-changing society.

Developed by leading faculty and educators from MIT RAISE (Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education) and other partners, the Day of AI curriculum aims to provide all students with the foundational knowledge necessary for our rapidly changing world. The Day of AI curriculum follows a spiral curriculum approach, as outlined in the UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Students. Students are exposed to progressively developing AI knowledge and skills, rather than isolated topics. AI concepts are revisited with increasing complexity, ensuring a strong foundation through repeated exposure and application. To learn more about AI Literacy and why it is vital for students, we recommend reading this informative article.
