How to run it — two ways
① Project it (whole class). Put a room on the board and walk it one concept at a time in Presentation Mode — big, high-contrast, with narration ready to play. Tap 🖥 Present on any room (or add ?present=1 to the URL); advance with a clicker or arrow keys. The activities still run live on the board.
② Assign it (on devices). Share the link; students do the rooms on Chromebooks, tablets, or phones while you circulate. Their progress is saved on their own device — nothing is collected.
A 40-minute lesson, ready to go
1 · Hook (5 min) — Open Room 1: What is AI? Have a student tap the word-prediction game. Ask: "What is the computer actually doing?"
2 · It's confidently wrong (10 min) — Room 3: When AI is wrong. Do the Strawberry activity together. Ask: "How can you tell when AI is just guessing?"
3 · Is it biased? (10 min) — Room 4: Is AI biased? Build the "example pile," then even it out. Ask: "Where did the bias come from, and how would you fix it?"
4 · Using it honestly (10 min) — Room 6's Cheat-O-Meter + the three super-questions. Set a class norm: "Did you try first?"
5 · Take-home (5 min) — Print the three super-questions card (Room 7) and send families the link below.
What it teaches & who it's for
Ages 8–12: seven hands-on rooms mapped to the AI4K12 Five Big Ideas — what AI is, the whole AI family, when it's wrong, whether it's fair, using it well, real worries (deepfakes, privacy, honesty, AI "friends"), and a verify habit. Ages 13+: a teen track covers the same fundamentals, pitched for high-schoolers (the feed, deepfakes, AI companions, homework). The full room-by-room standards map is on the teacher page.
