AI with the Friday Institute

Artificial Intelligence programs, projects and research at the Friday Institute

The Friday Institute is focused on innovation and technologies that are transforming education. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the landscape of K-12 education in every district, school and classroom. At the Friday Institute (FI), we are working with educators and educational leaders to leverage AI for deeper learning, support teachers and students in effective uses of AI, ensure access for all in how AI is incorporated into education, and conduct research on AI integration in instruction.

Ambitious Learning Practices

Ambitious learning environments embody authentic, complex, real-world contexts that foster collaboration and deep learning. Educational practices that are ill-structured and ambitious provide a rich environment where learners are able to direct their own learning. Teachers facilitate meaningful learning by providing scaffolded support.
