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:
[ul][li]Confidence using AI in your classroom[li]Time-saving workflows[li]Discipline-specific strategies \(not generic ed-tech\)[li]A community that gets what you do

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

Welcome to the Lab. Let's do this. 🎓
