AI Literacy Curricula

I design learning activities that address the intersection of artificial intelligence and ethics. My goal is to help young people comprehend the societal impacts of technology and support them in envisioning responsible AI design. These curricula have largely been made open-source and have been implemented in hundreds of schools worldwide.
