Introductory AI education for students of all ages. Covers the basics of artificial intelligence, everyday applications, safety, and first AI experiments.

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life, but many people use it without fully understanding what it is or how it works. This course introduces students to the basic idea of AI in clear, simple language. Learners will explore what AI is, what it is not, where it appears in daily life, and why it matters.

Through guided lessons, examples, discussion, and simple hands-on activities, students will begin building the vocabulary and awareness needed to participate in the Youth AI Pipeline. The course helps students recognize AI tools and understand that AI systems respond to inputs, generate outputs, and still require human judgment and responsible use.

By the end of this course, students will be able to explain AI in simple terms, identify examples of AI in everyday life, and describe the difference between helpful AI support and human decision-making.

Artificial intelligence is already part of daily life, even when people do not always notice it. This course helps students explore how AI appears in common tools, apps, and systems they may already use for music, videos, maps, writing, shopping, communication, and learning.

Through guided lessons, examples, discussions, and simple observation activities, learners will identify everyday uses of AI and explain how these systems help generate suggestions, predictions, or responses. Students will also reflect on why AI can be useful, but still requires human judgment, attention, and responsible use.

By the end of this course, students will be able to identify examples of AI in everyday life, describe what AI may be doing in those situations, and explain why people still need to think carefully when using AI-supported tools.

This course introduces students to the basic idea of prompting, or how people give instructions to AI tools. Students will learn that the quality of an AI response often depends on the clarity of the input they provide. Through examples, guided practice, and reflection, learners will explore how prompts shape results and why clearer directions often lead to better outputs.

By the end of this course, students will be able to describe what a prompt is, recognize the difference between weak and strong prompts, and explain why human judgment still matters when using AI-generated results.

This course introduces students to the responsible use of artificial intelligence in everyday life. Learners will explore how AI can be helpful, where it can go wrong, and why human judgment still matters. The course covers basic issues such as inaccurate outputs, privacy, bias, digital safety, and the importance of checking information before using it. By the end of the course, students will be able to recognize responsible and irresponsible uses of AI and explain how to interact with AI tools in a safer, smarter, and more thoughtful way.
