Understanding AI Fundamentals: Students learn the basic concepts of AI, including how it works and its various applications.
Recognizing AI in Daily Life: The curriculum helps students identify AI technologies they interact with regularly, fostering awareness of AI's pervasive role in society.
Evaluating AI's Impact: Students critically assess the benefits and challenges of AI, including ethical considerations and potential biases in AI systems.
Developing Critical Thinking Skills: The lessons encourage students to think critically about AI-generated content and the reliability of information, enhancing their media literacy.
Exploring AI Ethics: Students examine the ethical implications of AI, discussing topics like fairness, accountability, and transparency in AI development and deployment.
AI for Oceans

First students classify objects as either "fish" or "not fish" to attempt to remove trash from the ocean. Then, students will need to expand their training data set to include other sea creatures that belong in the water. In the second part of the activity, students will choose their own labels to apply to images of randomly generated fish. This training data is used for a machine learning model that should then be able to label new images on its own.
