In Episode 4, we begin exploring AISE at the secondary levels in Grades 7-9 by introducing a forth class and educational model of science education that includes AI modelling and early prototyping of STEM tech that includes early AI coding and other elements. Secondary AISE also explores how lessons, topics and ideas beyond the local and regional cosmos that is more evident in elementary AISE. Working individually and in teams, students utilize AI in thematic lessons and/or problem-based learning that includes prototyping physical technology and robotics for community sharing at events such as an AI-linked robotics and other technical leagues and challenges (similar to Lego Robotics). In the news, we look at some of the early research into AI ( click here ), a new AI ethics curriculum for middle schoolers from MIT ( click here ) and share a website that utilizes Lego Robotics and AI ( click here ). ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-power-of-stem-2-5748133/episodes/stem-2-s5e4-series-5-episode-4-thematic-experimentation-and-prototyping-with-6-8-grade-students-using-ai-for-thematic-problem-solving-an/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-power-of-stem-2-5748133/stem-2-s5e4-series-5-episode-4-thematic-experimentation-and-prototyping-with-6-8-grade-students-using-ai-for-thematic-problem-solving-an.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
