Explore what AI can do, then put it to work. Students use chatbots, image generators, and other AI tools to create, brainstorm, experiment with prompts, and build their own startup idea while learning how to use AI thoughtfully and responsibly.
AI is already part of the apps, tools, and technology students use every day. In AI Adventures, they get to look under the hood and start using it for themselves.
Students will explore what artificial intelligence is, where they encounter it in everyday life, and how tools like chatbots and image generators actually fit into the bigger picture. Then they’ll put those tools to work through hands-on activities that challenge them to brainstorm ideas, create images and written content, experiment with prompts, and develop their own startup concept.
Along the way, students will learn how to get better results from AI without handing over the thinking. They’ll explore when AI can be useful, where it can get things wrong, and how to use it responsibly as a tool for creativity, problem-solving, and building new ideas.
