Mapping Artificial Intelligence (AI) on K – 12 curriculum, learning theory, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the Cortic Technology Software

The objective of this research partnership is to map Artificial Intelligence (AI) to elementary curriculum and Indigenous ways of knowing using Cortic Technology’s software. We hope to build a theoretical framework and instructional approach for AI education for children at an elementary level. A review of current research will set the context for AI and digital fluency in elementary classrooms and will map the skills, concepts and perspectives relevant to elementary aged children. Working with teachers and students in elementary classrooms with the Cortic Technology software in a French Language and Indigenous context will provide the opportunity to evaluate the impact of AI education on learning outcomes and inform the future development of tools and resources for AI education. Cortic Technology will be able to improve and grow their AI software based on the findings to be used in K-12 schools across Canada.
