• Title: Engaging Teachers to Co-Design Integrated AI Curriculum for K-12 Classrooms
• Authors: Jessica Van Brummelen and Phoebe Lin
• Abstract summary: We organized co-design workshops with 15 K-12 teachers to identify opportunities to integrate AI education into core curriculum. We found that K-12 teachers need additional scaffolding in the curriculum to facilitate ethics and data discussions. We present an exemplar lesson plan that shows entry points for teaching AI in non-computing subjects.

• Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) education is an increasingly popular topic area for K-12 teachers. However, little research has investigated how AI education can be designed to be more accessible to all learners. We organized co-design workshops with 15 K-12 teachers to identify opportunities to integrate AI education into core curriculum to leverage learners' interests. During the co-design workshops, teachers and researchers co-created lesson plans where AI concepts were embedded into various core subjects. We found that K-12 teachers need additional scaffolding in the curriculum to facilitate ethics and data discussions, and value supports for learner engagement, collaboration, and reflection. We identify opportunities for researchers and teachers to collaborate to make AI education more accessible, and present an exemplar lesson plan that shows entry points for teaching AI in non-computing subjects. We also reflect on co-designing with K-12 teachers in a remote setting.

  This paper reports on the efforts of the ENSICO association to implement such aims in Portugal. Starting with pilot projects in a few schools in 2020, it is currently working with 4500 students, 35 schools and 100 school teachers. The main aim is to gain enough experience and knowledge to eventually define a comprehensive syllabus for teaching computing as a mandatory subject.

  In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society. A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests. This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.

A team of 14 professors with expertise in engineering and education collaborated with 17 principals and teachers from 6 secondary schools to co-create the curriculum. The co-creation process generated a variety of resources which enhanced the teachers knowledge in AI, as well as fostered teachers autonomy in bringing the subject matter into their classrooms.
