This STEM integrated middle school curriculum introduces students to artificial intelligence (AI), and specifically machine learning (ML) through the engaging lens of fossils and the science of paleontology.<\/p>\n

The curriculum is structured with a scaffolded design spread across five modules. Each module contains an in-class lesson guide, with a variety of activities. These activities are suggestions for how you can implement this content. You are not required to follow them step-by-step. Utilize the elements that make the most sense for your classroom. K-12 standards (both CPALMS and NGSS equivalents) are addressed through these activities.<\/span><\/p>\n
