AI Project Lab for youth learners
Most young people are already using AI unsupervised; AI Project Lab is structured practice in doing it well. Cadets (Grades 2–5) build prompt literacy — planning prompts, predicting results, and spotting when AI-generated work gets something wrong, with an instructor running the actual generations. Commanders (Grade 6+) go deeper: spotting bias and stereotyping, keeping a real prompt log, and building a semester-long AI-assisted capstone portfolio piece.
