2026 AI Educator Summer Institute

The increasingly pervasive use of AI in popular online platforms frequented by adolescents has researchers worried about how this technology affects their online privacy and security. It also has teachers worried about how this technology affects classroom work and student learning. In this session, we will first present an overview of our CyberEd project, in which we designed and developed six education modules around AI-related cybersecurity topics that were implemented by Computer Science and Mathematics teachers in their 6th-8th grade classrooms. We will then dive into more details about the contents of one of these modules. Finally, we will provide an overview of our plans for "CyberEd 2.0" and extend the audience an invitation to join us for that project.
