AI for Wellbeing is a curriculum where students explore conversational AI, chatbot design, and ethical considerations around the use of AI to promote well-being. We specifically designed content, educator materials, and educational technologies to be responsive to the interests and needs of students and educators from diverse backgrounds.
We piloted AI for Wellbeing in a 5-day, virtual workshop with middle school teachers and students. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed students' work and teachers’ feedback. Our results suggest that the topic of AI for Wellbeing was engaging and that the design of our curriculum was effective and feasible for students to learn about and complete projects on AI for wellbeing.
