Designed to follow Digital Wellness and Media Literacy courses but equally effective as a standalone unit. As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms childhood and education, students need a foundation to understand it. This unit covers what AI is, how it learns, its history, limitations, risks, and benefits — empowering students to think critically about AI's role in their lives and why adult guidance matters. Includes 11 presentation slides.
