SEEd standards proficiency scales for Grades 1 Ð 5 that include learning targets and sample task ideas for determining whether students are approaching proficiency, proficient, or highly proficient.

The projects in this guide use a student-driven approach to learning. Instead of simply learning about AI through videos or lectures, the students completing these projects are active participants in their AI exploration. In the process, students work directly with innovative AI technologies, participate in “unplugged” activities that further their understanding of how AI technologies work, and create various authentic products—from machine learning models to video games—to demonstrate their learning.



Project 1: Programming with Machine Learning

Project 2: AI-Powered Players in Video Games

Project 3: Using AI for Robotic Motion Planning

Project 4: Machine Learning as a Service

This guide provides student-driven projects that can directly teach subject area standards in tandem with foundational understandings of what AI is, how it works, and how it impacts society. Several key approaches were taken into consideration in the design of these projects. Understanding these approaches will support both your understanding and implementation of the projects in this guide, as well as your own work to design further activities that integrate AI education into your curriculum.



Project 1: AI Chatbots

Project 2: Developing a Critical Eye

Project 3: Using AI to Solve Environmental Problems

Project 4: Laws for AI

In this guide, students’ exploration of AI is framed within the context of ethical considerations and aligned with standards and concepts, and depths of understanding that would be appropriate across various subject areas and grade levels in K–12. Depending on the level of your students and the amount of time you have available, you might complete an entire project, pick and choose from the listed activities, or you might take students’ learning further by taking advantage of the additional extensions and resources provided for you. For students with no previous experience with AI education, exposure to the guided learning activities alone will create an understanding of their world that they likely did not previously have. And for those with some background in computer science or AI, the complete projects and resources will still challenge their thinking and expose them to new AI technologies and applications across various fields of study.



Project 1: Fair's Fair

Project 2: Who is in Control?

Project 3: The Trade-offs of AI Technology

Project 4: AI and the 21st Century Worker
