Students learn what defines AI, how it is used, how it plans to be used, and the social and ethical implications of its use in society.
Students learn how data is stored digitally, how to use spreadsheets to organize and analyze data, and how big data is used in artificial intelligence.
Students learn the basics of programming by writing programs that interact with users through the keyboard.
Students teach their programs to make decisions based on the information it receives.
Students learn how to write more efficient code by using loops as shortcuts.
Students learn how their programs can be decomposed into smaller pieces that work together to solve a problem.
Students learn how chatbots use artificial intelligence and use the Design Thinking Process to create a rule-based, informational chatbot on a topic of their choice.
Students use more sophisticated strategies for manipulating text in their programs - slicing, concatenating, and formatting.
Students learn how tuples and lists are formed and the various methods that can alter them.
Students learn how AI is used in gaming. Students use their understanding of data structures to develop a tic tac toe game with a non-player character.
Students take some time to explore and discover different computer science careers as well as learn about important work readiness skills. Students will also research about professional student organizations and the benefits they offer to their members.

Python, throughout.
No. Roughly the first half of the course is a full introduction to Python, starting with turtle graphics and console interaction before moving through conditionals, loops, functions, strings, data structures and classes. The AI units come after that foundation is in place.
Two dedicated units, What is AI? and Data and Artificial Intelligence, plus two AI projects: building a chatbot and applying AI to gaming. The course frames AI in society and the workplace and applies Python skills to fields where AI is used.
Yes. The course is described as the introductory course in the Artificial Intelligence pathway, and CodeHS lists it under the Georgia state pathway for grades 9 and 10.
About 140 contact hours, built to run across a full school year.
The course includes a midterm and a final exam, three projects (Guess the Word, Who Said It?, Mastermind) alongside the two AI projects, and a pretest and posttest so you can measure growth across the year.
