As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve and reshape our environment, it is important that students understand what it is, where they may encounter it, how it works and when it may (or may not) be useful. These lessons are designed to build skills to help students stay grounded in this ever-changing world of technology. They will help students think critically about the content they encounter and stay curious about all technology (including AI).

This series of brief lessons (approximately 20 minutes) serve to address these concepts at a level they will understand.

All students in Grades 3-12 are required to receive instruction on Artificial Intelligence (AI) as part of their curriculum. These brief lessons are designed to familiarize students with AI, including how it works and its potential benefits and drawbacks.
