Day of AI

I had never heard of this so when I read about it, I found it intriguing. I thought you might be interested in this free event also. Please read the info below and consider registering for this.

“Day of AI is May 13, 2022 when K-12 students across the country will engage in a series of freely available hands-on activities designed to introduce them to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it plays a part in their lives today. (Why did that YouTube video appear on my screen? What is a deepfake? How did my phone recognize me?)

All Day of AI activities are designed to be taught by educators with little or no technology background and to be accessible to students of all backgrounds and abilities, including those with little or no technology experience. The only requirements are an internet connection and a Chromebook or laptop.

Day of AI activities are organized by age group and can be run in 30 minute to 1 hour time blocks. Up to 4 hours of lesson plans are provided for each grade band and teachers can choose to run any number of the lessons provided. Projects will be shared through the entire Day of AI network with a series of popup events across the country.

Any teacher looking to bring Day of AI to their classroom can sign up on the registration page to download the curriculum and lesson plans and schedule one of the free two hour online professional development workshops offered at different times from December 2021 – April 2022. Professional development workshops are optional with teachers attending the training receiving a certificate of completion for possible PD credits.”
