Building Foundational Literacy and AI Awareness for younger students (Grades K-5)

Tuesday May 12, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm PDT

Shiley Hall 106

How can we prepare our youngest learners for a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence? In this session, participants will explore how to weave foundational AI awareness into core instruction for students in Grades K-5. You'll discover practical, age-appropriate strategies that will focus on strengthening traditional literacies—reading, writing, math, and media—by examining how AI tools work without directly engaging with AI chatbots. This hands-on session will also give you time to play with engaging, non-digital, and digital resources that you can take back and use next week.
