The Model AI Assignments session seeks to gather and disseminate the best assignment designs of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Education community. Recognizing that assignments form the core of student learning experience, we here present abstracts of six AI assignments from the 2017 session that are easily adoptable, playfully engaging, and flexible for a variety of instructor needs.

As educators, we have high hopes for Electronic Tangibles (ETs), we expect ETs to: Interest more students in the study of computing Broaden students' views of computing Invite non-majors to learn something about the computing Attract students to computer science as a major Help students learn about particular ETs Attract students to our classes by incorporating a flashy ET in the course material Improve student understanding of some difficult topics Maintain student interest throughout the class However some important questions arise: Can we and should we extend these benefits throughout the K-20 curriculum? And if we can't, are we guilty of bait-and-switch?
