Introducing: Fluency & Navigation — The Heart of AI Literacy
What is AI Fluency & Navigation?
Fluency means being able to speak the language of AI: asking clear questions, understanding responses, and building confidence with tools.
Navigation means steering AI wisely: avoiding bias, staying focused, and making ethical choices.
Together, Fluency & Navigation form the new literacy — just as reading, writing, and math once defined access to opportunity, AI literacy now defines who will lead in the future.
Who this is for
Middle school students in Puerto Rico, especially in Title I schools and under-resourced communities.
Time & format
Short, focused modules
Built-in practice prompts and quick checks for understanding.
What to expect below
Each step includes:
What it is (plain-language overview)
Why it matters (student-first purpose)
What students learn (the 5 pillars)
Value, access, and donor role (clarity on funding)
Outcomes (what students can do next)
What you’ll learn
The program is organized into 5 Steps with 25 pillars total.
Step 1 — Fluency Foundations: Flow of knowledge, adaptability, clarity, applied practice, creativity.
Step 2 — Navigation Skills: Systems connection, inquiry, task focus, evaluation, communication.
Step 3 — Applied Intelligence: Collaboration, context awareness, decision making, problem solving, innovation.
Step 4 — Responsible Use: Ethics, bias awareness, digital citizenship, privacy, accountability.
Step 5 — Mastery & Beyond: Strategy, leadership with AI, adapting to future tools, human+AI synergy, lifelong fluency.
