The term artificial intelligence was coined over 65 years ago. For decades, it resided almost exclusively within the realm of computer scientists and programmers. But in recent years, AI has become a central component of our everyday lives, acting as the backbone of familiar tech like music streaming services, navigation devices and delivery apps. Unsurprisingly, it now touches nearly every known field of academic study.
Education is the conduit through which today’s students become tomorrow’s leaders. And this guide serves as a toolkit for K-12 teachers who are preparing the next generation of AI users and developers. Featuring in-depth interviews with practitioners, infographics and project guidelines for classroom teachers, as well as a webinar on the importance of AI in education, it aims to provide schools with straightforward and practical ways to integrate computational thinking across their curricula. Moreover, it is an invitation for teachers of all subjects and students of any age, ability or background to take part in AI explorations.
