Assessment Criteria

Grade 1–2
The student recognizes the key AI tools and has a superficial understanding of their basic principles. They can utilize ready-made model examples under guidance, but demonstrate little independent optimization.

Grade 3–4
The student demonstrates the ability to select appropriate AI tools for different application contexts and masters their basic configuration (e.g., parameter tuning). They can evaluate model performance and apply what they have learned to handle various data types.

Grade 5
The student seamlessly integrates multiple AI tools into large-scale projects, optimizing model performance innovatively. They show an in-depth understanding of the models’ limitations and potential, delivering versatile, scalable solutions for both business and technological needs.

Assessment Methods

Teacher assessment, self-assessment and peer assessment.
