Calling all educators! We’re thrilled to launch a free, open-source curriculum designed for students in grade 6 and above to explore AI, data science, and coding through MIT App Inventor — with a focus on ethics and responsibility.
Based on the UNESCO AI Competency Frameworks for Students Flexible, standalone units across civics, music, language arts & environmental science Integrated mix of statistics, coding & AI — tailored to different levels

@dcpetty, I'm using some activities from the Responsible AI in Every Classroom curriculum with my students, and I noticed there is no starter .aia file or student guide for the Grades Unit.
All other units in the curriculum feature a project that includes some coding in App Inventor. Is this by design, or am I missing a resource?
I can develop something myself, but I wanted to ask before reinventing the wheel if such a resource already exists. Please let me know when you get a chance!
Hi @mamante, thank you for reaching out! So sorry for the delay in responding.
You are right that there is no MIT App Inventor in the Grades Unit. We purposefully designed a unit without any MIT App Inventor to accommodate people who would like to learn about AI, data science, and ethics but are not able to invest time or resources in MIT App Inventor.
Across the units, there are different intensities of coding, reading and math designed to cater towards different learning styles.
If you have ideas of an MIT App Inventor app that can go well with this unit, we'd love for you to share with us. We could consider adding it as an extension.
We don't have a separate student guide as we feel the worksheets are self-explanatory. If you find any missing information, we'd love to hear your feedback!
