6th–12th grade

This program is built for middle and high schoolers — 6th grade through 12th grade — because AI literacy is useful at any point in that range, but what "useful" looks like changes as you get older. Younger students focus more on the fundamentals: what AI actually is, how to use it hands-on, and how to think critically about what it tells you. Older students move toward applying those same skills toward a real project, a portfolio piece, or planning something like a business idea.

The core skills are the same across the whole age range — everyone is learning to use AI tools hands-on and think critically about the results — but the pacing, examples, and depth adjust so the material actually fits where you are.
