The aim of this platform is to develop national guidelines for AI education for K-12, an online, curated resource Directory to facilitate AI instruction, and build a community of practitioners, researchers, resource and tool developers focused on the AI for K-12 audience.

Since 2018 the AI4K12 Initiative has been developing national guidelines for teaching AI in K-12.  The AI for K-12 guidelines are organized around the 5 Big Ideas in AI. The guidelines define what every student should know about AI and what they should be able to do with it. The guidelines will serve as a framework to assist standards writers and curriculum developers on AI concepts, essential knowledge, and skills by grade band.
