Teach students to use AI responsibly — with a course designed for them.
AI Literacy Foundations is a structured course that asks students to think critically about what it means to be a responsible user of AI and practice the necessary skills to thrive now and into the future.
What students learn:
Why students need AI literacy now
AI tools are everywhere. Most students use them. Few know how to use them well.
AI makes mistakes
AI tools hallucinate, invent citations, and confidently present false information. Students need to know how to catch these errors before they become their errors.
Using AI isn't cheating (usually)
The conversation has moved beyond "AI = bad." Students need to understand when AI assistance is appropriate, when it isn't, and how to be transparent about it.
Skills, not just rules
Banning AI doesn't prepare students for a world that runs on it. Teaching them to think critically about AI does.

Three activity types that build real skills
Each module includes hands-on practice, not just videos.
Streak Quizzes
Streak quizzes are knowledge checks that require consecutive correct answers to pass. This ensures students actually understand the material, not just guess their way through.
Custom AI Interactions
Students use AI for writing tasks while following specific guidelines: asking for feedback instead of generation, verifying suggestions, and maintaining their own voice. The activity enforces responsible patterns.
Reflections
Students write about what they learned and how they'll apply it. These responses go to teachers, creating opportunities for coaching and discussion about responsible AI use.
