Frequently Asked Questions

What does the course cover in 20 hours?

Four units: an introduction to AI, machine learning, training AI models, and the risks of AI, closing with a project on AI use cases.

What key ideas does it get across?

Machine learning, large language models, bias in models, and the impacts AI has on society. Students engage with real tools including ChatGPT, Gemini and Teachable Machine.

How is this different from the semester version?

It is a shorter cut of the same course. Introduction to AI for High School runs 55 hours and adds Coding with AI Tools, Careers and AI, a project on AI in students' own lives, and an AI Literacy Certification Practice unit. This one finishes with an AI use cases project instead.
