AI is attracting increased attention due to its potential to enhance and/or disrupt our society. In August 2018, a group of K-12 educators and AI researchers joined together to form the AI for K-12 working group to develop national guidelines for how to teach AI across K-12. The working group has spent the last two and a half years developing the guidelines and curating aligned instructional resources.. The group is commissioned by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA). The guidelines are organized into five big ideas and span four grade bands: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.

Public comment for Draft 1 of Big Idea 3 of the AI for K-12 Guidelines is open through December 31. We appreciate the time you take to provide feedback as we continue to refine the guidelines.

We plan to publish the final version of the guidelines in late summer 2021.
