Hi Anelda, There's a group of academics and K-12 teachers working on Artificial Intelligence curricula for Kindergarten-high school learners. They have a lot of resources: AI4K12.org. I attended an event in the fall where they had k-12 techers summarize what students at each age tend to know and be able to learn. The materials for high schoolers are available from this page: https://github.com/touretzkyds/ai4k12/wiki/2018-Fall-Symposium-Materials.
