AI + Python Curriculum is up!

Are you looking for a coding course that not only teaches programming fundamentals but also introduces your students to the world of artificial intelligence? The Intro to AI with Python course is a comprehensive, student-friendly curriculum designed to do just that. No prior experience required.

This project-based course equips students with essential 21st-century skills: programming, problem-solving, and computational thinking, all while having fun with creative challenges like designing snowflakes, building virtual dice, and developing their own AI models!

What Will Students Learn?

Over the course of 7 units, students dive into the foundations of Python programming, explore computer science concepts through interactive labs and tutorials, and get hands-on experience with AI. Here's a look at the journey:

Unit 1: Intro to AI
Students start with the big picture: what artificial intelligence is, how it works, and where it already shows up in their everyday lives. No coding required, just curiosity.

Unit 2: Intro to Python
Students build the core skills of computational thinking and problem decomposition, then put them to work in Python. From their first "Hello World!" to operators and structure, they learn the syntax through approachable exercises.

Unit 3: Turtle Graphics
Art meets code. Students draw shapes, build snowflakes, and create their own interactive Turtle programs and games using loops and randomness.

Unit 4: More Python
This unit goes deeper into flowcharts, conditionals, while loops, random, lists, and dictionaries, culminating in a Create Your Own Story project.

Unit 5: Advanced Topics
Students solidify their understanding of loops and functions to build more efficient, reusable code, then apply it in guided projects.

Unit 6: Project Challenges
Open-ended challenges such as the Turtle Spawner, a Tip Calculator, and Guess the Number let students apply their skills creatively.

Unit 7: Artificial Intelligence
The highlight of the course. Students return to AI with real code, building machine learning models that predict outcomes like pass-or-fail results and sentiment scores from input data.
