Expedition AI includes 7 project-based learning labs packed with activities, videos, and online resources in a teacher-friendly format.

Students will make 7 artifacts along the Expedition, including their own book, merch line, music album, and more.

The user-friendly nature of the Expedition AI program makes it an ideal solution for educators teaching STEM, computer science, or CTE to AI-power any class.

Our mission is "every student AI-powered" -- helping them become 21st-century thinkers by awakening their curiosity about AI, inspiring them to become the innovators of tomorrow, and giving them the confidence to harness technology to transform their communities.

Students learn AI fundamentals and how to use their creativity to solve problems through the exploration and application of AI technologies.

Expedition AI is designed not just to teach learners about AI technologies, but also to prepare them with a range of workforce readiness skills and durable skills that are applicable across many areas of professional and personal life.

Here's a list of 18 important skills learners will develop in this course:

• AI-Powered Learning: Students learn to apply AI to every aspect of what they're learning in the class, preparing them for how the workforce will expect them to use AI.

• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Students learn to assess situations, think critically, and develop AI-based solutions to real-world problems.

• Decision Making: Students analyze data and use AI tools to make informed decisions, honing their ability to evaluate options and choose the best path forward.

• Risk Assessment: Students learn to evaluate the risks and benefits of AI solutions, understanding the trade-offs involved in implementing technology.

• Communication Skills: Articulating complex AI concepts clearly, presenting findings, and collaborating with peers are essential skills in this course.

• Ethical Reasoning and Integrity: Students explore the ethical implications of AI, learning to develop and use AI technologies responsibly.

• Teamwork and Leadership: Collaborative projects help students develop teamwork skills and become leaders in their classroom by guiding other students and teachers in exploring AI technologies together.

• Adaptability and Flexibility: The dynamic nature of AI technology demands that students learn to adapt to new tools and changing conditions.

• Project Management: Students learn to plan, execute, and monitor AI projects, from initial concept to final implementation.

• Innovative Mindset: The course emphasizes innovation, encouraging students to think creatively and develop novel AI applications.

• Resilience and Perseverance: Students learn to overcome challenges in AI development, maintaining determination through trial and error.

• Cultural and Global Awareness: Students explore the global impact of AI on cultures, bias, training data, and more. They'll also build artifacts based on their culture, language, and heritage.

• Resourcefulness: Working with available resources to develop AI solutions, students learn to be creative and resourceful.

• Technical Skills: Students gain hands-on experience with AI tools, programming languages, and technologies that are essential in the field.

Expedition AI is built on CSTA computer science standards. If you teach a computer science class, each mission in the expedition is mapped to a particular standard, and your grading rubric will reflect this.

For example, the "Write a Book" mission is mapped to these standards 👇

2-NI-04 Model the role of protocols in transmitting data across networks and the Internet.

3B-NI-03 Describe the issues that impact network functionality (e.g., bandwidth, load, delay, topology).

Middle and high school! Ages 13+.

In our teacher resource guide, AI prompts are customized for different grade levels.

Expedition AI is 7 Missions. Each mission takes 4-5 weeks at 1 hour/week of classroom time.

1 house/ week makes this a 2 semester program (25-30 weeks).

2 hours/week makes this a 1 semester program.

Student success is measured by their learning along the journey, as well as the artifacts they produce by the end.

Teachers will have access to our suggested grading rubric, based around core program standards, teamwork/leadership, and more. Here is a sample grading rubric!

Yes! Expedition AI is built as a supplemental program.

Yes! Each mission is multi-player. Students are prompted to collaborate and work in teams on their projects, learning the technology by experimenting with their friends.

You certainly have the option to send parental consent forms out if your school's policies do not already include these terms! We include templates in the course packet (both digital and printable).
