AI and Computing Education

Prompty, a tool which scaffolds prompt engineering and output comparison for high school students

This research seeks to explore how generative AI tools change what is worth learning about computing, how we teach about computing and AI, and how we assess knowledge. The long-term goal is to develop pedagogy and tools to support students critically considering how AI tools augment their skills and capabilities.
