Introduction to AI · Grades 6–8
Give middle school students a reason to say, ‘Look what I made.’ WOWK12 helps after-school organizations run a 16-lesson introduction to AI through game customization, AI artwork, and personal websites. Students learn by making choices, testing ideas, and sharing what they discover.
The course follows four chapters: Looks, Behaviors, Rules, and Design. Each lesson brings a different game and a focused AI concept. Students can give projects their own look and supported settings while working through a common learning experience. The sequence builds toward a final project and WOW Expo.
Lessons are designed for 60–90 minutes. When planning an after-school club or enrichment program, discuss how the 16 sessions fit your calendar, attendance pattern, and available staff. English and Spanish materials are available, and beginners do not need coding experience.
The student workspace runs in a browser, including on Chromebooks. Plan internet access, student devices, adult supervision, and time for testing and discussion. Authorized adults manage section access. Students sign in with school-managed credentials while their teacher keeps class open.
Projects make learning visible, but the conversation matters too. Students practice describing what they changed, what happened, and how AI helped. Use the final showcase to celebrate their choices, evidence, and creative credit. Review sharing permissions with your school or organization before displaying student work.
