Synopsis

Is your child interested in sci-fi, robots, or video games? Is your kid fascinated by smart home assistants and the prospect of self-driving cars? Time to turn that enthusiasm into action and engage with the exciting world of artificial intelligence!

AI+Me is a series designed to introduce the 5 Big Ideas of Artificial Intelligence to young learners. Students take a deep dive into the Five Big Ideas of AI (Perception, Representation and Reasoning, Learning, Natural Interaction, and Societal Impact). This is the 3rd book in the AI+Me series focused on Learning. The series is recommended for K-2 students.

"Five Big Ideas in AI" are K-12 AI guidelines designed by AI4K12.org, a joint initiative of AAAI (the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence) and CSTA (the Computer Science Teachers Association). AI4K12 has received NSF support.

Why should children be educated about AI?

- Learning AI opens up a world of opportunities. As the fastest growing area of computer science, AI will become the most important change force when our children grow up so it is critical they learn about it early.

- AI is fun! The field of AI started with scientists making computers learn to play games. AI is an incredibly fun way to introduce kids to programming and pique their interest in advanced topics like deep learning.

- Lastly, a topic like AI naturally opens up discussions about our humanity. In our curriculum, we dig deep into questions like "does AI positively or negatively impact society?" In doing so we aim to develop critical thinking skills and encourage students to reflect deeply.

Benefits of AI education:

- Gets children interested in STEM education

- Improves their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills

- Builds their understanding of the tech tools that'll shape their future

- Starts important conversations about the future of humanity

What are educators saying:

"I have enjoyed using the AI & Me books in my AI classes to teach a wide variety of topics including "Do robots have emotions?" and "What can robots with AI capabilities learn to do?" I recently taught my first grade students about the Turing Test and the books were a valuable resource to reinforce this concept. My students and I enjoy the bright pictures, the easy-to-follow storyline, and the clear terminology. I often have students asking - Can we please read that book again?"- Annabel H, Music & CSAI Teacher, Quest Academy

What are parents saying:

"My 1st grader loves this book. She already is really interested in computers, but this book got her thinking about how we actually tell emotions. She started using her camera on her computer to record different expressions."

"My son learned ReadyAI courses before. I let his friend read AI+Me big idea 1. Surprisingly, both of them finished reading the book, with a lot of interest! I Will recommend this book for elementary school students."
