Getting started
Do I need any coding or AI experience to teach this?
No. The curriculum is written for teachers with no prior AI background. Every week has a lesson outline, teacher notes, and common student questions. If you can facilitate a discussion, you can teach this.
Is it really free? What's the catch?
It's free under a
Creative Commons BY 4.0 licence — use it, adapt it, and share it, just keep the attribution. There's no paywall, no signup, and no credit card. See the
privacy page for how student data is handled.
How much time does the course take?
Six weeks, about 60–90 minutes each. Short on time? Every week has a 45-minute track in the curriculum guide. You can also run individual weeks as standalone modules.
Who is this course for?
Anyone curious about AI agents — no age limit and no prerequisites. It's classroom-ready for high school (AP CS Principles, Intro to AI, electives), and works equally well for college students, career-switchers, self-learners, and community programs. The activities scale up or down with your discussion depth.
Tools & access
What tools do students need — and what if our school blocks them?
Activities use free tools like Claude, ChatGPT, NotebookLM, and Perplexity. If your district blocks tools or student logins, every activity has a
no-login / teacher-projected path and an
unplugged alternative. See the
tool-setup guide and the Equity & Access section of the curriculum.
Is student data safe? What about FERPA?
AgenticEd itself doesn't require accounts, and your answers save only in your own browser. When using any AI tool, students should use
non-identifying example data — never real names, grades, or records. Full details on the
privacy & data page.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in a web browser. The optional "go deeper" notebooks open in Google Colab with no install and no API key.
Using the curriculum
Can I adapt or remix the material?
Yes — that's encouraged. Under CC BY 4.0 you can edit, reorder, translate, and build on it. Please keep the attribution to AgenticEd and the author.
My students finished — is there proof of completion?
How do I plan this around my schedule?
Use the
pacing-plan generator — tell it how many sessions you have and how long they are, and it lays out what to cover each session.
Still stuck?
I have a question that isn't answered here.
