Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increased the importance of AI education for users. While AI has been being researched continuously in higher education, teaching ‘AI’ to middle and high school students is still a new idea. Although governments of various countries have attempted to promote AI education for students from primary to high schools, teachers have encountered challenges in designing their teaching materials. In this paper, we proposed an application that helps teachers to create easy-to-understand lesson plans and introduce AI knowledge to middle and high school students. By recommending teachers AI-related products or services, which are common to the young generation to introduce AI concepts, the application is expected to mitigate teachers’ difficulties in designing their AI lesson plans.
