Hypothetically, if you assigned your 5th graders a project to demo something useful with physical AI, and one kid builds a lego robot and vibe codes it to identify and burn ants with a magnifying glass, how would you handle that?

A C is too harsh, I’d give a B and then explain why they didn’t receive an A (cause of ai)

There’s a valuable opportunity here to teach the kids a lesson about ethical use of technology and AI. How making something that does the killing distances them from it emotionally, but doesn’t make them any less responsible for it.

But the rubric instructs the students to use AI, right?

From what I understand, they wanted students to build a physical Ai (I’m assuming hardware that has Ai embedded into it), but it didn’t instruct them to actually use Ai (vibe coding) to build said Ai project
