Intuition to Intelligence: Scaffolding AI Literacy
In this model lesson, participants will experience a classroom-ready approach to developing AI literacy through intentional scaffolding. Using techniques from my “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” course, we will move through a structured learning sequence that connects intuitive reasoning to intelligent systems. From there, the focus shifts to how AI systems are trained, how data influences outcomes, and where bias can surface. Participants will see how purposeful scaffolding strengthens student understanding of AI and leave with practical strategies they can adapt for their own classrooms.
