We could hardly believe that children aged 10 to 16, by the end of the AI Literacy course, were already using AI tools for their Project-Based Learning (PBL) in truly creative and meaningful ways. They began to:
-
Write their own books - Create original comics
- Compose poems
- Develop literary characters
- Craft stories and animate them
- Design lesson presentations
- Use AI to better understand tasks that were unclear in the classroom
Back in 2023-2024 there was a common concern that children would use AI only to cheat on homework or tests
However, after completing our first AI Literacy courses, these stereotypes started to fade. Instead, we observed a strong shift towards collaborative, creative, and purposeful AI use in the classroom, where students and teachers worked together to explore, learn, and research.
