Generative AI
AI that can create new content, such as writing, music, images, or code.
👩🏫 How to Explain by Age Group
Elementary (K–5)
“Generative AI is like a robot artist or storyteller. You give it an idea, and it draws a picture, writes a poem, or makes up a story just for you.”
Middle School (6–8)
“Generative AI creates new things from scratch, like writing a song, designing a video game character, or making up a funny story. It uses patterns it learned from lots of examples.”
High School (9–12)
"Generative AI refers to models that produce original content, such as essays, artwork, or code. It learns from massive datasets and generates results based on prompts, transforming creative work, design, and even education.”
🚀 Classroom Expeditions
Mini-journeys into AI thinking.
Elementary (K–5)
Use a kid-friendly AI art tool or writing bot to generate a silly story together. Then ask: “How did the computer know what to say?” Explain how platforms use generative AI to spark learning and imagination.
Middle School (6–8)
Challenge students to write a creative prompt, then use an AI tool to generate a poem or image. Reflect on how the AI created something new.
High School (9–12)
Assign students to compare human, and AI-generated content (e.g., essays or visuals) and critique their differences. Discuss the value of creativity, originality.
