Intergenerational Learning
DetectAIves is a University of Maryland initiative focused on helping communities better understand artificial intelligence through education, research, and hands-on learning. The program brings students, researchers, community organizers, and older adults together to explore how AI is changing everyday life.
I serve as a project manager and curriculum strategist for the workshops, organizing stakeholder engagement, and designing workshop content.
The program gives undergraduate students the chance to work on real projects while learning from faculty, graduate mentors, and community members. It also creates welcoming spaces where older adults can ask questions, share concerns, and build confidence with new technology.
Our first iteration of the workshop incorporated lessons inspired by the AI4K12 framework. Focusing on the "5 Big Ideas of AI". Based on user surveys and interviews, we are currently redesigning the curriculum to reflect more interest driven content and allow more time for intergenerational learning.
