Time required to complete: Around 8-11 50-minute classes, generally 3 weeks of instruction

This four-week unit offers versions for both middle school and high school. It’s a six-lesson, problem-based unit focused on how and when AI can be used to help people create welcoming and inclusive online communities, and the role that moderation plays in online communities. The unit addresses goals for:

AI Education: How computers learn from data, and how AI can impact society in both positive and negative ways.

Justice and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies: How to design technologies and systems with “humans in the loop” that address persistent algorithmic bias and create communities that welcome forms of expression that reflect and sustain their cultural communities’ values and practices.

Science and Engineering Practices: �鶹��Ժ engage specifically with key practices in engineering design of defining problems and testing solutions to problems.

The unit is organized around a “storyline” that is built around anticipated student questions about a problem they encounter in the first lesson. �鶹��Ժ pursue answers to these questions in search of a solution to the question that anchors this first lesson: How can we create game worlds where we can play games where we can be ourselves and everyone can belong? As part of their explorations into online moderation, students train a chatbot to distinguish between happy or sad words.
