A creative, project-based curriculum for middle school that connects artificial intelligence to real-world problem solving, design, and responsible AI practices.

Middle school is where curiosity meets critical thinking. It's the ideal time to move beyond surface-level AI awareness and into application. Hello World CS’s AI Literacy & Readiness curriculum gives educators the tools to help students understand, build, and evaluate intelligent systems.
Through hands-on projects, students explore how algorithms learn from data, how generative models create text or images, and how humans guide those systems responsibly. Teachers gain resources that align with CSTA and state-level AI standards while promoting collaboration, creativity, and ethical reflection.
AI Story Studio helps educators bring AI exploration to life with structured lessons, built-in scaffolding, and cross-curricular alignment.
The Middle School AI Literacy and Readiness curriculum strengthens students' understanding of how AI works and why it matters. Through creative storytelling and interactive design projects, students explore generative models, training data, and model limitations in age-appropriate ways.
In these standalone modules, students learn to use AI creatively and responsibly while developing critical thinking skills about artificial intelligence. They design and implement their own AI-driven block-based programs to build interactive stories, transforming from AI consumers into informed AI power users who understand both the capabilities and challenges of these technologies.
