  1. Foundations: AI & Gifted Education

    8 weeks
    Goals
    • Understand core concepts in gifted education (e.g., asynchronous development, overexcitabilities)
    • Master Python fundamentals and basic ML concepts
    • Learn the basics of prompt engineering and LLM APIs
    Resources
    • "The Gifted Teen Survival Guide" (Galbraith & Delisle)
    • Coursera: Machine Learning by Andrew Ng
    • OpenAI API documentation and Cookbook
    • NAGC (National Association for Gifted Children) webinars
    Milestone

    Build a simple chatbot that can have a Socratic dialogue about a topic at a 5th-grade level.

  2. Core Skill Development: Adaptive Systems

    12 weeks
    Goals
    • Learn to design and query educational knowledge graphs
    • Implement basic adaptive learning logic using Python
    • Study ethics frameworks for AI and children (COPPA, GDPR for minors)
    Resources
    • Fast.ai Practical Deep Learning course
    • "Designing Adaptive Learning Systems" (academic papers)
    • LangChain documentation for building chains
    • IEEE Ethically Aligned Design guidelines
    Milestone

    Develop a prototype system that adjusts math problem complexity based on user response time and accuracy.

  3. Specialization & Application

    16 weeks
    Goals
    • Fine-tune a small LLM on a curated dataset of gifted education materials
    • Build a full-stack prototype of an AI mentor for a specific domain (e.g., quantum computing for high schoolers)
    • Conduct user testing with gifted learners and educators
    Resources
    • Hugging Face NLP course
    • AWS Educate or Google Cloud credits for projects
    • "Advancing Differentiation" (Byrdseed.tv resources)
    • Feedback from mentorship with a gifted education center
    Milestone

    Deploy a live, web-based AI-assisted project that adapts to and challenges a gifted student's interest in a STEM field.

Practice Projects

Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.

Socratic Math AI Tutor

Beginner

Build a chatbot using OpenAI's API that, instead of giving answers, asks guiding questions to help a gifted student discover the solution to advanced algebra problems.

Prompt EngineeringLLM API UsageBasic Pedagogy

Adaptive Reading Comprehension Engine

Intermediate

Create a system that presents a challenging text and dynamically generates follow-up questions of increasing depth (recall, analysis, synthesis, evaluation) based on student answers.

~35h
Adaptive Learning LogicNLP for Question GenerationPython

Cross-Disciplinary Connection Generator

Advanced

Develop a tool using a knowledge graph and an LLM that takes a concept from one field (e.g., 'symmetry' in math) and finds and explains analogous concepts in others (e.g., physics, biology, art).
