This week our 4th–6th grade students participated in an exciting, hands-on learning experience with The Hour of AI! 🎉💻

Students worked through breakout-style challenges to earn clues and unlock locks, finishing by using Chromebooks to code a micro:bit. Along the way, they learned what AI is, how it can help, what information is appropriate to share, and how to analyze AI-generated data.

This opportunity was made possible through a generous grant from Microsoft. We are incredibly grateful for their support and also want to thank our amazing RUSD staff who helped make this event a success!
