AI LAB- Level 2

  • High School-Middle School grade
  • Intermediate

Course Description:

This course contains 21 lessons.

The AI LAB curriculum is the first step introducesing students to AI and robotics.

Students with no prior programming or robotics experience are introduced to fun, hands-on activities using accessible robots like simplified humanoids, basic robotic arms, and mini autonomous vehicles. They learn fundamental concepts through block-based programming, sequencing, and basic logic. The labs emphasize exploration and immediate visual feedback to spark curiosity and creativity. This level lays the groundwork for understanding how robots operate in real-world settings.
