Summary
This project addresses the critical gap in K–12 educator preparation for integrating rapidly evolving generative AI (GenAI) tools into classroom practice. While GenAI promises to transform learning environments, most secondary teachers lack both the technical proficiency and pedagogical frameworks to leverage these technologies effectively and safely. This project will develop and deliver a four-week experiential learning in AI and MerryQuery (ExLAIM) program by bringing together in-service K-12 teachers, undergraduate computing majors, and industry mentors to co-design AI-integrated curricula
