👩‍🏫 How to Explain by Age Group

• Elementary (K–5)

  • “A corpus is like a giant bookshelf filled with stories and books. Computers read from it to learn how people talk, write, and ask questions.”

• Middle School (6–8)

  • “Think of a corpus as a huge library that AI reads to learn language. It might include books, websites, and even schoolwork, helping AI understand words, grammar, and ideas.”

• High School (9–12)

  • "A corpus is a massive dataset of written or spoken language that is used to train natural language processing models. The size and diversity of a corpus directly affect the accuracy and fairness of AI language tools.”

🚀 Classroom Expeditions

Mini-journeys into AI thinking.

• Elementary (K–5)

  • Create a classroom “mini-corpus” by collecting student-written sentences about a topic. Use them to see how often certain words appear.

• Middle School (6–8)

  • Ask students to gather text samples from different genres (news, fiction, instructions). Discuss how each one teaches something different to AI.

• High School (9–12)

  • Have students explore the impact of biased or limited corpora by analyzing sample text datasets. Ask how the composition of a corpus affects AI outcomes.
