Ideas for teaching Artificial Intelligence in high school

Summary

A Reddit user seeks ideas for teaching AI in high school, suggesting practical activities like prompt engineering workshops, using NotebookLM, Teachable Machine, and vibe coding with AI tools.

Good afternoon everyone, My father is a high school teacher and would like to make his classes as practical as possible. One of the topics he has to cover is AI in general, in the subject of "Digital Creation and Computational Thinking." Since my father knows I'm more or less up-to-date with AI, he asked me for suggestions, but I don't know if you have any better ideas than I do. These are my ideas: 1. Learning to use tools like NotebookLM. I think it's fantastic, especially for students who have university entrance exams coming up. 2. Prompt Engineering Workshop: Building chatbots based on official documentation and then, as a competition, having each student try to perform a prompt injection on the chatbot (extracting sensitive information used to train the model) from other students. 3. Teachable Machine (Google). They train an AI in 5-10 minutes with photos or sounds they create themselves. They see how the machine "learns." 4. Creating and structuring presentations. I use this a lot, specifically with Claude or Grok, and I think it's incredibly useful academically. 5. Also, perhaps creating a website or a cool game using vibe coding with the new IDEs or CLIs that are being released (Antigravity, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, etc.). What cool ideas do you have that would get students interested in AI and programming?
