How Artificial Intelligence Works
Five days on what the word covers, how a machine learns from examples, how a chatbot writes one piece at a time, what it can't do and why, and how to test one yourself.
Artificial Intelligence Games
Six standalone units on what AI is, how a machine learns, using a chatbot well, where AI goes wrong, deepfakes and AI scams, and what AI means for school and work. Every game practices one day's idea with fresh situations and real feedback.
Artificial Intelligence and Ethics
Four days on whether a tool works for everyone, who should get the final say, what an answer really costs, and whose work a model used.
Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom
Four days on what an AI rule actually says, giving credit for what a tool gave you, saying what the tool did, and answering honestly when someone asks.
Artificial Intelligence and Careers
Four days on which tasks AI can take off a job, how work is changing, who answers for a tool's mistake, and what happens when a screening tool reads your application.
Deepfakes and AI Scams
Four days on how deepfakes are made, faked voices and video calls, tracing where a file came from, and what to do when it's about a real person.
AI Literacy and Chatbots
Four days on what a chatbot actually is, how to ask it well, what you hand over when you type, and who to turn to when a question needs a person.
Questions teachers ask
Are these AI games free?
Yes. Every game on this page is free to play, with no trial and nothing to buy. They are companions to our teaching units, and you can use them without owning one.
Do students need an account or a login?
No. A student opens the link and the game starts. There is nothing to install and no code to enter.
Do the games work on Chromebooks and phones?
Yes. They run in a web browser, so any device with one works, Chromebooks and phones included. Sound is off until a student turns it on, and the games project well for a whole-class round.
Is any student data collected?
The games never ask for a name, an email or an account, and nothing a student types or chooses in a game is sent anywhere. Where a game keeps a best score, it stays on that student's own device. The page itself counts anonymous visits with Google Analytics, the same as the rest of this site.
Do the games use a real AI tool?
No. Every chatbot and model in the games is simulated and scripted by us, so students never type into a real AI tool and nothing is sent to one. That also means the games work in a district that blocks AI tools.
What grade level are the games for?
Grades 9 to 12. Each game was built for one teaching day of a high school unit and uses the same vocabulary as that day's lesson.
Do I need the teaching unit to use a game?
No. Every game opens by explaining the idea it practices, so it can stand alone. It lands best right after the lesson it was built for, which is why each game is tied to a specific day of a unit.For classroom activities that need no screens, seeAI Literacy Activities for High School Students.
