Inspired by CSTA\u2019s national standards for K-12 computing education [2], the AI for K-12 guidelines will define what students in each grade band should know about artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics. The working group is also creating an online resource directory where teachers can find AI-related videos, demo software, and activity descriptions they can incorporate into their lesson plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming Events<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Join us on May 5th \u2013 12th \u2013 Learn more at: <a href=\"https:\/\/stemforall2020.videohall.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/stemforall2020.videohall.com\/\">STEM for All 2020 Video Showcase<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2020 Video Showcase\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/384573981?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Past Events<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CS For All Summit 2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CSforALL Summit 2019 - SPOTLIGHT: AI Curiosity\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/372548385?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>April 2020 \u2013 ASU GSV \u2013 Panel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>February 2019 \u2013 ACM SIG CSE 2019\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Special Session: AI for K-12 Guidelines Initiative<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Birds of a Feather: AI for K-12: Making Room for AI in the K-12 CS Curriculum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>January 2019 \u2013 AAAI 2019 \u2013 Blue Sky Talk \u2013 Envisioning AI for K-12: What should every child know about AI?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>October 20, 2018 \u2013 AI for K-12 Symposium \u2013 Fall 2018 AAAI Fall Symposium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>July 2018 \u2013 AI for K-12 CSTA Breakfast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/marketbrief.edweek.org\/marketplace-k-12\/k-12-students-know-artificial-intelligence-new-standards-works\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/marketbrief.edweek.org\/marketplace-k-12\/k-12-students-know-artificial-intelligence-new-standards-works\/\">What Should K-12 Students Know about Artificial Intelligence?
