6-8:M1W1:AI Agents in Action – Solve, Code, Change the World!

Students begin their journey as AI Agents by diving into a question that will shape their thinking:
This week opens Module 1, where learners explore how AI already exists in the tools and technologies they use daily—from voice assistants to recommendation systems. Far from being futuristic, AI is here and now, influencing what we watch, how we communicate, and even how we learn.

 Key Activities This Week:

• AI Scavenger Hunt: Students go on a mission to spot AI in their own homes, schools, and online spaces—identifying how “smart” technology shows up in real life.

• Group Reflection: Through classroom sharing, students compare discoveries and discuss how AI helps (or complicates) everyday tasks.

• Journal Entry: Learners reflect personally on how AI affects their lives and begin to form critical opinions on its role in the world.

By the end of Week 1, students will:

• Know what AI is (and what it isn’t)

• Recognize AI-powered tools in daily life

• Begin thinking about AI’s impact—both helpful and challenging

This opening week lays the foundation for the rest of the module, where students will continue to explore not just how AI works—but why understanding it matters for their future.
