AI EDUCATION & CERTIFICATION BOARD
In the fastest of changes,
what children need most is
direction.
AIECB develops and maintains UAICS — the Universal AI Competency
Standard, designed for children and young people from K-12. Our work is to
give children, teachers and schools a visible path through the AI era.
STANDARD SPECIFICATION
UAICS Framework v9.1 Publication
WHY AIECB EXISTS
Three things worth stating plainly
STATEMENT // 01
The wave is real
This generation of children will live in a world profoundly different from the one their parents and
teachers grew up in. AI has arrived fast and without warning. AIECB exists to answer the question of
where to begin.
STATEMENT // 02
Which edge of the blade a child meets is decided by the adults around them
AI is the most powerful learning tool humanity has ever held — and it is double-edged. Which edge a
child experiences is decided not by the technology, but by the adults around them.
STATEMENT // 03
Growth needs to be visible
From a first explorer badge to an independently completed AI system design project, UAICS gives
every step a name, a piece of work, and a next step. Children know where they stand and where they
can go.
CORE PATHWAYS
Entry points for every role

learn — and what they
will have made
