Grades K–2: Introduction to AI Lesson Plan
Learning Objectives: Students will explore how humans and computers perceive the world using senses and sensors. By comparing human sensory organs (eyes, ears, skin) to computer sensors (cameras, microphones, tactile sensors), they will learn how AI systems collect and process information to make decisions. Through hands-on activities, students will identify how computers "see," "hear," and "feel," and discuss why AI needs sensors to interact with its environment.
