AI Fluency, Unit 1: Orientation - How to Use AI Without Getting Owned by It
Open the AI course with the line every student must internalize before they ever paste a prompt: AI is a power tool, not an oracle. Cover what AI is, what it isn't, the school's AI policy, and the difference between AI assistance and AI plagiarism.

Preview module ->AI Fluency, Unit 2: How LLMs Actually Work
Crack open the box. Tokens, embeddings, attention, training vs. inference, context windows, and why the model hallucinates - explained at a level a 10th grader can teach back.

View module ->AI Fluency, Unit 3: Prompt Engineering Fundamentals
The single highest-leverage skill in AI work. Students learn the C.R.I.S.P. prompt frame, system vs. user roles, zero-shot vs. few-shot, format control, and the iteration loop that separates 'AI is mid' from 'AI is incredible.'

View module ->AI Fluency, Unit 4: Advanced Prompting - Chain-of-Thought, Personas, and Self-Critique
Past the fundamentals, into the techniques pros use daily: chain-of-thought, ReAct, role-play, self-critique loops, prompt chaining, and the personal prompt library habit that compounds over time.

View module ->AI Fluency, Unit 5: The Big LLMs - Comparing Frontier Models
Hands-on tour of the frontier: GPT, Claude, Gemini, and the open-weight challengers. Students compare strengths, context windows, pricing, safety behavior, and learn to pick the right model for the job instead of defaulting to whatever app they opened first.

View module ->AI Fluency, Unit 6: Local & Open-Source LLMs - Run Your Own AI
Stop being a user. Become an operator. Install Ollama or LM Studio, download Llama / Mistral / Qwen / Phi, and run a real LLM on a laptop with the wifi turned off. The unit that changes how students think about AI.

View module ->AI Fluency, Unit 7: Retrieval, Tools, and Agents
From chatbot to product. RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) so the model has actual sources, function calling and MCP so the model can use tools, and agents that loop. Plus the honest conversation about when agents go off the rails.

View module ->AI Fluency, Unit 8: Multimodal AI - Vision, Voice, Image, Video
AI that sees, hears, draws, sings, and lies. Image generation, voice cloning, video synthesis, deepfakes, and the cryptographic fight back: C2PA, watermarking, and provenance. The unit parents most want students to take.

View module ->AI Fluency, Unit 9: AI Risks - Hallucination, Bias, Privacy, and Prompt Injection
The risks unit. Hallucination as a systemic feature, bias as a measurable property, privacy in the prompt era, and the security side: prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and model supply chain. Honest, calibrated, no doom and no hype.

View module ->AI Fluency, Unit 10: Capstone - Build a Useful AI Tool
Put it all together. Each student ships a working AI tool that solves a real problem in their life: a local-LLM study buddy, a prompt-library product, a RAG over their notes, or an image-gen workflow. Disclose, verify, contribute - graded for real.
