Boost student understanding of artificial intelligence by connecting it to video games and esports.
Students explore AI’s origins in gaming, from early programs to sophisticated NPCs. This chapter covers key milestones that paved the way for today’s AI-driven games.
Students learn about the application of artificial intelligence in the field of esports competition. They explore how AI is used to enhance player performance, analyze game data, and develop strategies for success.
Students examine how AI enables NPCs to make decisions, react to players, and enhance immersion through behavior trees, state machines, and GOAP.
Students learn about different genres of NPCs (non-player characters) in video games and how they contribute to the overall gameplay experience.
Students learn how AI supports game development by generating assets, testing mechanics, and enhancing immersive environments.
Students explore how procedural generation enables games to create diverse, randomized content, like worlds and items, using algorithms.
As AI becomes more advanced in gaming, developers must navigate the trade-offs between control, creativity, and performance to deliver engaging, reliable player experiences.
Students will learn about the ethical considerations and challenges that arise in the field of artificial intelligence in gaming. They will explore topics such as bias, privacy, and the impact of AI on player experience.
* Additional hardware and software requirements depending on selected video games

“The biggest thing that I've learned through working with the students and going through the curriculum is building a team and working on communication skills. Those are skills that not only help them within the classroom but they can also take outside of school and into the real world.”

“The kids are super excited esports. They love gaming together and esports has brought in this whole group of kids that don't normally get conne”cted in those extra activities, and so we've really tapped into a new group of kids.””

“It's not just kids playing video games, there's more to it. Don't be afraid to try something new. It can really give students who don't have a place to fit in an area where this is their forte. Something that will help them connect in the education process.”
