AI Literacy Starts Early

AI literacy prepares students to think critically, navigate technology responsibly, and participate meaningfully in a rapidly changing world. As AI increasingly influences information, decisions, and opportunities, young people needs the skills to questions systems, understand how data is used, and recognize how technology can both help and harm communities. Early exposure helps students develop the computational thinking, ethical judgment, and adaptability needed to thrive academically and civically in the future.
