AI Time Travelers: A Historical Journey

Week 1	Day 1	Day 2	Day 3
Activities	Project Launch Discussion - Begin with an engaging discussion on the evolution of artificial intelligence, highlighting key milestones and breakthroughs. Introduce the essential question driving the project: 'In what ways can we trace the historical development of AI to predict its future impact on various industries?' (20 min) Guest Speaker Session - Invite a guest speaker from a local tech company to share insights on AI's current applications and future potential. Students take notes and prepare questions for discussion. (25 min)	AI Timeline Creation - Students begin researching and creating a digital timeline using Adobe Express, tracing the historical development of AI. They highlight key milestones and innovations, using critical thinking to select impactful events. (25 min) Peer Feedback and Reflection - Students share their timeline drafts with peers for feedback, engaging in self-reflection to identify areas for improvement. Focus on building a self-directed learning mindset. (20 min)	Implementing AI Algorithms - Introduce students to a simple AI algorithm and guide them in implementing it to play a game against a human opponent. This hands-on activity helps them understand AI principles. (25 min) Reflection and Critical Discussion - Students reflect on their experience with AI algorithms and engage in a discussion about the societal implications of AI. Emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving skills. (20 min)
Deliverables	1. Digital timeline using Adobe Express that highlights key milestones in AI history. 2. Brainstorm session notes identifying industries impacted by AI. 3. Draft of a simple AI algorithm designed to play a game against a human opponent. 4. Reflection journal entry on insights gained from the guest speaker and discussions. 5. Initial critique feedback from peers on digital timeline and AI algorithm draft.
Preparation	1. Reserve a guest speaker from a local tech company to discuss AI applications. 2. Prepare a presentation and discussion guide on the history and key milestones of AI. 3. Set up Adobe Express accounts and tutorials for students. 4. Gather resources on key AI innovations and their societal impacts. 5. Provide access to AI programming tools and platforms for developing simple algorithms. 6. Organize a brainstorming session with materials like post-it notes and markers. 7. Arrange the classroom for collaborative work and discussions.
