AI Literacy and Responsible AI Module

Date:

August 4, 2026

This practical and age-appropriate STEM module introduces students to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, data, algorithms, and responsible technology use. Students explore how AI systems work, where they are used, and how to think critically about the information and decisions they encounter.

Through interactive activities and real-world scenarios, students learn to use AI thoughtfully while considering privacy, bias, ethics, creativity, and academic integrity.
What Students Will Explore
  • How AI Works – Discover the basic ideas behind data, algorithms, patterns, and machine learning.
  • Unplugged AI Activities – Explore AI concepts through sorting, pattern recognition, and decision-making games.
  • Prompt Writing – Practise creating clear and effective prompts for AI tools.
  • Image Classification – Explore how AI can identify and classify images based on patterns in data.
  • Machine Learning Demonstrations – See how machines can learn from examples and data.
  • Chatbots & AI Conversations – Examine how chatbots respond and why the quality of input matters.
  • Bias & Fairness – Discuss how data and design choices can influence AI results.
  • AI & Creativity – Explore how AI tools can support brainstorming, creative work, and idea development.
  • Privacy & Digital Safety – Learn what information should and should not be shared with AI systems.
  • Academic Integrity – Discuss responsible AI use in learning, including originality, attribution, and when AI assistance is appropriate.
Learning Outcomes
Students develop a foundational understanding of AI and machine learning while building critical thinking skills to evaluate AI-generated information and make responsible technology choices.
