AI Social Studies Lab

AI Social Studies Lab 🧪

A community for middle & high school social studies teachers who want to use AI effectively—without the hype or overwhelm.

💡 What We Do: Learn research-backed frameworks (CIVIC, SCIM-C, RICH) to integrate AI ethically & practically. Get ready-to-use tools, join live sessions, and connect with teachers figuring this out together.

🎯 Why It Matters: AI is already in students' hands. If we don't guide them, they'll use it badly. Social studies is different—we teach bias, multiperspectivity, and contested narratives. AI can amplify that... or undermine it.

✅ You'll Walk Away With:

Built by teachers, for teachers. Less theory, more practice.

Welcome to the Lab. Let's do this. 🎓
