About the Project

AI Generation is an AI Literacy curriculum for high schoolers created by UiPath Foundation in partnership with the App Inventor Foundation, an MIT initiative, and Global Science of Learning Education Network.

The curriculum consists of three courses and follows UNESCO’s AI Competency Framework for Students’ progression level: understand, apply, and create.

UiPath Foundation launched the curriculum within the Own Your Path program, with a cohort of 94 high schoolers who were taught by UiPath volunteers from various technical and non-technical departments. At the end of the course, 97% of the high school students said they learned something new, and 80% of them are interested in pursuing a career in AI.

It is essential for them to gain at least a basic understanding of where and how AI is used, along with its benefits and challenges.

Ensuring students from all communities have access to safe, effective, and measurable learning resources on AI is crucial as this technology becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life.

Curriculum Structure

The curriculum is structured into three courses:

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and MIT App Inventor
Developing AI apps in MIT App Inventor

The curriculum leverages the AI Competency Framework for Students developed by UNESCO and focuses on three competency aspects of the framework: Human-Centered approach, Ethics of AI, and AI techniques and applications.

The Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course is now free and open-source, available in Romanian and English for educators worldwide.

The Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course was piloted in 2024 with 94 high schoolers aged 15 to 17 from underserved communities across 20 counties in Romania. The data and feedback collected from this pilot project will inform the expansion of AI education programs to a broader, more diverse group of children and young people passionate about innovation and technology.

The course was held online, on the Own Your Path Digital Educational Platform, over 14 weeks, in 90-minute lessons.

The First Course Is Now Available For Free!
