Session description
AI technologies are impacting every field, including science, writing, art and learning new languages. And all of today's students need to learn what AI is, how it works, and how it's changing their world in order to be digitally literate and career ready. In this poster, you'll learn from secondary educators from across the country as they share about the projects, activities and resources they use to teach students about artificial intelligence. From interactive middle school projects to online high school activities, attendees will leave with resources to engage middle and high school students across subject areas!
Purpose & objective
As AI technologies become more ubiquitous, students need to learn about AI to ensure they become thoughtful users, managers, and even creators of these powerful tools. This session is for all 6–12 educators, across subject areas and grade levels. Experienced teachers from across the country will share about the ways they are integrating lessons about AI into their curriculum - and demonstrate the powerful impact it is having on their students.
Attendees will also learn about the Hands-On AI Projects for the Classroom guides, which provide core subject, elective and computer science teachers with innovative curricular resources about AI across various grade levels and subject areas. The five free guides can be downloaded in English, Spanish, and Arabic. Each guide includes background information and student-driven projects that directly relate to subject area standards, providing foundational learning on what AI is, how it works and how it impacts society.
