随着人工智能（AI）在儿童生活中变得无处不在，引入新的有效方法来教授年轻一代关于AI的知识至关重要。本研究描述了培训本科生作为中学AI夏令营辅导员的经验。这些本科生在夏令营前参加了为期9天（54小时）的专业发展课程，然后在为期两周的夏令营中促进人工智能学习和夏令营活动。我们的研究结果表明，大学生辅导员受益匪浅，从这种经验，反过来提供的好处，中学学习者。这些本科生发展了专业技能和概念技能。通过与辅导员作为“近同行”进行互动，学生们以有趣、吸引人和支持的方式学习人工智能。这些发现有助于我们理解如何有效地向年轻学习者传授复杂的人工智能概念。
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes ubiquitous in children’s lives, it is crucial to introduce new and effective ways to teach the younger generation about AI. This study describes the experience of training undergraduate students as middle school AI summer camp facilitators. These undergraduates participated in a professional development session prior to camp for 9 days (54 hours), and then facilitated AI learning and camp activities within the two-week camp. Our findings indicate that the undergraduate facilitators benefited greatly from this experience, in turn providing benefits to the middle school learners. The undergraduates developed both professional and conceptual skills. By interacting with the facilitators as “near-peers”, the students learned about AI in a fun, engaging, and supportive way. These findings contribute to our understanding of how to effectively teach young learners about complex AI concepts.
