Advanced Computer Science: Artificial Intelligence is an introductory course developed in partnership with MITAI for K-12 designed to help students explore AI and its far-reaching societal impacts in our world.
The course is designed around engaging activities and learning units that integrate foundational AI concepts and real-world applications with ethical design and responsible use, as students explore how these technologies can help solve problems and improve life for themselves and their communities.
Students can investigate the broad implications of AI technology such as:
- targeted advertising,
- facial and voice recognition,
- self-driving cars, and
- neural networks.
Through a combination of group activities, individual explorations, and end-of-module deep dive projects, students will build familiarity with AI technology and the current state of machine learning.
