s that can be used by teachers across grade levels and subject areas to teach K-12 students about artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies pervade modern so- ciety, embedded in sma; onal applications. Yet, while AI has become more ubiquitous, AI education for K-12 students re- mains a new frontier for educators and curriculum provid- ers, even in the area of computer science. The Internatio; s in their daily life, community, and world. Since the first release in 2020, K-12 educators have im- plemented the Hands-On AI Projects for the Classroom in schools across the United States and around the world.

Devices

AI literacy / AI concepts

Constraints
  • Teacher readiness, time, support, and classroom integration may affect implementation quality.
  • Use with minors requires attention to privacy, consent, data minimization, and adult supervision.

Learner Profile

Age Range

K-12, Higher education

Prior AI Exposure Assumed

Mixed or not explicitly specified; infer from target learner group and intervention design.

Prior Programming Background Assumed

Varies by intervention; not specified unless the paper explicitly describes prerequisites.

Educational Intent

4
Primary Learning Goals
  • Document the AI education intervention, course, tool, or resource described in the source publication.
  • Extract the learner context, AI role, pedagogy, outcomes, and constraints for AAB registry comparison.
  • Teaching AI with the Hands-On AI Projects for the Classroom Series Nancye Blair Black Teachers College Columbia University International Society for Technology in Education nblack@nancyeblack.com
Secondary Learning Goals
  • Support AAB comparison across AI literacy, AI education, teacher training, higher education, and workforce contexts.
  • Capture evidence maturity, transferability, and limitations rather than treating the publication as product endorsement.
What This Was Not
  • Not an AAB endorsement of the tool, curriculum, provider, or result.
  • Not a direct replication record unless the source paper reports implementation details sufficient for replication.

AI Tool Description

5
Tool Type

AI literacy / AI concepts

Languages

Not specified in extracted text

AI Role
  • Learning object / concept model
User Interaction Model
  • Primary interaction pattern inferred from publication: Teacher professional development.
  • AI capability focus: AI literacy / AI concepts.
Safeguards
  • Use age-appropriate framing and teacher/facilitator oversight for any classroom deployment.

Activity Design

6
Activity Flow
  • Review the publication’s reported context, learner group, AI tool or curriculum, implementation process, and outcome evidence.
  • Map the case to AAB registry fields for comparison across educational levels and AI capability types.
  • Use the source publication and PDF for any manual verification before public registry release.
Human Vs AI Responsibilities
  • Human educators/researchers remain responsible for instructional design, supervision, interpretation, and ethical safeguards.
  • AI systems or AI concepts provide the learning object, support tool, evaluator, simulator, or automation context depending on the paper.
Scaffolding Strategies
  • Hands-on / experiential learning
  • Registry extraction emphasizes explicit learning goals, observed outcomes, constraints, and safety limitations.

Observed Challenges

7
Educators Reported
  • Teacher readiness, time, support, and classroom integration may affect implementation quality.
  • Use with minors requires attention to privacy, consent, data minimization, and adult supervision.

Design Adaptations
