Abstract

Recent years have seen tremendous technology and research development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Initiatives are being made to build or employ AI in various domains of society. The field of education is experiencing the same trend. Being able to solve various issues by utilizing AI and varied learning materials is a crucial fundamental skill for students of all ages. The purpose of this study is to (1) develop STEM-based artificial intelligence education for K–6 grade students and (2) measure the effectiveness of the developed program in terms of creative problem-solving ability, AI literacy, and attitude toward AI. Experimental studies show an improvement in the average score and that all three elements are statistically significant. Additionally, it is established that the view of the study’s program and AI is good as a result of the emotional analysis of the comments freely expressed by the students. This study reflects on the need for establishing effective and various AI educational programs.
