Scalability

An AI system’s ability to grow or adapt to increasing demands.

Help me explain to...

K–5th
Scalability means the computer can grow bigger and still work well, like your shoes getting bigger as you grow!


6–8th
As more people use AI, it has to keep working fast. Scalability is about growing without breaking.


9–12th
Scalability refers to how efficiently an AI system can expand its operations, users, or data input without losing performance.

Expeditions

K–5th
Build a small tower of blocks, then keep adding. Discuss what keeps it strong. That’s scalability!


6–8th
Have students simulate an app with 10 users, then 1,000. Discuss what would need to change.


9–12th
Research real AI platforms and how they manage millions of queries. What technologies support their scalability?
