Teaching through making

Who gets the chance to learn AI, and who will help them begin? This section starts with a proposal to bring AI literacy into high school classrooms, then explores teaching through design and making. A working app can conceal a poorly understood problem. A polished guide can leave its reader unsure what to do next. These essays ask what AI fluency could mean for students, libraries, universities, and the communities around them.

Try reading this section as both a learner and a teacher. What would you want to make? What would you ask someone else to show you before you called the work successful? The answers may change the project before anyone writes a prompt.
