Medium	GrooveSquid.com (original content)	Medium Difficulty Summary This paper explores the integration of a Project-Based Learning (PBL) AI toolkit into various subject areas to enhance K-12 students’ AI literacy skills. The authors conducted interviews and co-design sessions with teachers to examine current AI literacy levels and how they adapt AI tools like AI Art Lab, AI Music Studio, and AI Chatbot into their course designs. While teachers appreciated the potential of AI tools to foster creativity and critical thinking, they also expressed concerns about accuracy, trustworthiness, and ethical implications of AI-generated content.
Low	GrooveSquid.com (original content)	Low Difficulty Summary This paper helps us understand how K-12 students can learn about artificial intelligence (AI) in school. The authors talked to teachers to see what they think is important for teaching AI, and what challenges they face when trying to use AI tools like art studios or chatbots. Teachers liked the idea of using AI to help kids be creative and think critically, but they worried about making sure what the AI produces is accurate and trustworthy.
