TEACHING AI

Bring artificial intelligence to your classroom

Our growing library of AI-focused lessons, tools, and curriculum helps students understand and explore artificial intelligence. Discover engaging activities that demystify AI and inspire curiosity about the future of technology.

For computer science classes

Update your lesson plan with AI courses and activities that plug into your existing curriculum.

Grades 3-5

How AI Makes Decisions

Introduce young students to AI and machine learning with hands-on activities using predictive data models. Students will practice making their own predictions and learn about data categorization and sorting.

Grades 6-12

Coding with AI

The Coding with AI unit teaches strategies for using AI to simplify complex concepts, guide problem-solving, and even generate code, empowering students to become informed and ethical future coders.

Grades 9-12

Artificial Intelligence Foundations

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Foundations is a free, flexible curriculum which introduces students to the core principles and real-world applications of computer science.

For all subjects

AI literacy belongs in every classroom, no matter the subject.

Grades 3-12

AI for Oceans

In this fun introduction to artificial intelligence, you train a real machine learning model to identify sea creatures and trash in the ocean.

Grades 6-12

Generative AI for Humanities

This unit includes two standalone lessons — one on writing with AI and one on researching with AI—designed for Humanities classes to demystify ethical and effective chatbot use, encouraging students to explore and reflect on these technologies.

Grades 7-12

Societal Impact of Generative AI

Investigate the impact of generative AI from different perspectives, then collaborate as a team to come up with guidelines that address the most needs from all participants.

CURRICULUM
