RAICA

RAICA (Responsible AI for Computational Action) is a comprehensive teacher training program that equips educators to introduce middle school students to AI through storytelling, ethics, and interactive projects. The goal of the RAICA curriculum is computational action with artificial intelligence. In order for students to take computational action with AI, RAICA has designed lessons that provide opportunities for students to apply computational thinking and responsible design while growing their AI fluency. We approach all of our work with a constructionist pedagogy, a belief that students learn best by constructing their own knowledge and being creative. We use Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) frameworks to guide the design of RAICA’s materials to support student and teacher learning.
