AB  - Through an NSF-funded ITEST program, Labeled ImageSTEAM, a summer workshop was conducted in June 2024 with a diverse group of middle school teachers. The workshop aimed to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into the K-12 curriculum by exploring computer vision and AI tools to augment science and technology education. ImageSTEAM specifically introduced visual media as a key technology to engage middle school students, particularly in 7th-grade science, through AI-related topics, digital 3D modeling, and coding.
As a result of the workshop, the “Create your 3D Eye” lesson module was developed using AI tools such as Pixlr X, TinkerCAD, and ChatGPT prompts. This module helps students understand the structure and function of the eye and apply their knowledge through interactive digital tools. The summative assessment for the students is to design and build their 3D model of an eye from scratch using TinkerCAD's tools. The module includes a detailed lesson plan, student handouts, general TinkerCAD basics for students, and a slide presentation, all with links to online resources.  Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards and the International Society for Technology in Education Standards, the module can be implemented in various curriculum settings.
In addition to the lesson module, students completed pre- and post-lesson surveys to track their interest in AI tools and topics. The results and experiences of both teachers and students will be shared in the paper. Learning in enhanced and engagement is real!
