Flexible units in this course
Choose standalone units to fit your classroom needs or combine them for a deeper dive into AI concepts.
Foundations of Generative AI
Introduces the basics of generative AI and how it works, covering neural networks, embeddings, and how large language models are trained to understand and represent language.
Customizing Language Models
Focuses on practical skills for tailoring AI models using techniques like prompt engineering and retrieval, while promoting transparency through model cards.
New AI Chat Lab
The AI Chat Lab tool, accessible only through our curriculum, allows students to experiment with AI models, learn prompt engineering, and customize chatbots using real-world techniques. Designed with built-in safety and moderation features, AI Chat Lab ensures a secure environment for exploring AI concepts while promoting ethical development and responsible use.
This unit let my students explore and make their own genuine choices, while teaching students how chatbots work. While they were able to create their own chatbots, it was not overly technical, so students do not need a strong computer background knowledge to participate in the course. However, because of the open and explore-based nature of the lesson format, my AP students were also able to engage, enjoy the lesson, and learn about AI.
