Samsung & the Mark Cuban Foundation Are Sending Classrooms Back to School with a New AI Curriculum
Samsung Electronics America and the Mark Cuban Foundation have launched a free AI curriculum for students in grades 6 through 12. The program provides teachers with structured resources to help students develop AI fluency and responsible technology skills.
Why it matters
Many teachers lack formal AI training, creating a gap in student readiness for a tech-driven workforce. This resource allows students to move beyond basic usage to critically evaluate AI outputs and identify biases.
The big picture
This initiative to provide free AI training for students and educators aligns with previous efforts like the partnership between Missouri and Google to equip workforces with AI skills.
The details
- The curriculum guides students through becoming AI consumers, builders, and evaluators. - It utilizes tools including Google’s NotebookLM, Claude, and Datawrapper. - Students produce formal ethics documentation, such as Model Cards, in the final session. - The program can be taught as one consecutive unit or as four standalone lessons.
What's next
The 17th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition will begin accepting entries starting on September 30, 2026.
