More about this bill
Teachers would get help learning to teach about artificial intelligence. The National Science Foundation could hand out grants for that work. Colleges and nonprofit groups would compete for them. The grants would pay for things most schools cannot build alone. That means lesson plans for kindergarten through grade 12. It also means hands-on tools and better ways to test what students know. Training for teachers and principals is on the list, in person and online. No new money comes with it. The Foundation would use programs it already runs, and only if it chooses to. Nothing here tells a school what to teach.
