AI Generation este un curriculum pentru liceeni ce vizează dezvoltarea literației în domeniul inteligenței artificiale (IA), creat de UiPath Foundation în parteneriat cu App Inventor Foundation, o inițiativă a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Acesta constă în două cursuri și urmărește nivelul de progres al Cadrului de competențe IA pentru elevi dezvoltat de UNESCO: înțelege, aplică și creează.
UiPath Foundation a lansat curriculumul în cadrul programului său Caleidoscop, cu o cohortă de 94 de liceeni, cărora le-au predat voluntari din compania UiPath, din diferite departamente tehnice și non-tehnice. La finalul cursurilor, 97% dintre liceeni au spus că au învățat ceva nou, iar 80% dintre ei își doresc să urmeze o carieră în IA.

Petruța, profesor limba și literatura română
Sunt reticentă la tehnologie, dar acest curs mi-a deschis drumul spre instrumente pe care le pot folosi în orice moment al lecției. Îl recomand tuturor profesorilor care își doresc momente atractive în timpul lecțiilor, dar și realizarea multor materiale într-un timp scurt.
Sorin
Cursant și elev în clasa a XI-a
Mi-a plăcut foarte mult faptul că modul în care a fost prezentat acest fenomen de IA a fost unul ușor de înțeles, fără limbaje foarte complicate sau scheme imposibil de urmărit. Cursurile au avut o înlănțuire logică si, cu puțin interes, am putut discuta despre bazele a ceea ce este inteligența artificială.
Curriculumul AI Generation este o resursă recomandată de către Ministerul Educației și Cercetării în programele școlare pentru discipline din filiera teoretică, dar și cea vocațională în anul școlar 2026-2027.

Pasul 3
Acordarea beneficiilor se face în funcție de forma de colaborare aleasă, după semnarea acordului și odată cu începerea implementării.
Diplomele și adeverințele se acordă la finalul anului școlar în baza raportării către UiPath Foundation.
În 2025 am dezvoltat un curs pentru profesori complementar curriculumului AI Generation, care să îi pregătească pe aceștia pentru a preda curriculumul la clasă.
Acesta este avizat ca program complementar de către Ministerul Educației și Cercetării și echivalat cu 2 credite ECTS.
Cursul le oferă profesorilor informații despre cum să aleagă și să folosească instrumentele IA care sprijină procesul de predare și evaluare, adaptându-le nevoilor elevilor.
În 2026, 75 de profesori vor dobândi competențe reale de integrare a IA la clasă în cadrul proiectului AI Ready Teachers, derulat în parteneriat cu ING România.
Cursul îi introduce pe liceeni în lumea inteligenței artificiale și le construiește fundamentele pentru literația în inteligența artificială.
Este un curs non-tehnic, cu lecții interactive care introduc concepte treptat, ceea ce îl face accesibil elevilor de liceu, indiferent de profilul liceului sau al clasei.
Elevii învață despre IA și despre cum este deja folosită în întreaga lume. Ei explorează instrumentele și platformele IA și participă activ în discuții etice colaborative și proiecte de grup axate pe utilizarea IA.
Acest curs se concentrează pe descoperirea inteligenței artificiale și nu implică programare.

Erdin
10th grade student, Bucharest, RomaniaWhat I liked most was how easy the lessons were to understand, the way the information was explained. I learned about AI’s power consumption and how it actually works! I would highly recommend this course to my friends and I would start by saying that this course really teaches you in a fun way and instead of stealing your energy, it gives you more!
-
Andreea
11th grade student, Vrancea county, RomaniaIf I were to recommend this course to a friend, I would describe it as a course that can help you a lot in the future and also in the present; a course that shows and provides examples of how to figure out if the things we see online are real or just made with the help of AI.
-
Georgeta
11th grade student, Neamț county, RomaniaThanks to this course, I learned the basics of artificial intelligence, what this concept means, what criteria it must respect and it formed a foundation for me in this field. I would describe this course as a foundation, an interactive starting point in the world of AI, which only brings satisfaction and increases curiosity.
-
Sorin
11th grade student, Suceava county, RomaniaI learned that AI is much easier to understand and, surprisingly, very common. I was even asked by a friend what this course is like, and I struggled a little to describe it, because this is something you have to experience to understand the satisfaction it offers. In short, something more unique.

Larisa
Senior Customer Success Manager @ UiPathFor me, teaching a course was a new experience. The course content was very well structured, with various materials (theoretical concepts explained in a way that everyone can understand, videos, media, group and individual exercises) which made the teaching process clear, accessible and easy to understand.
I especially enjoyed the students’ curiosity and enthusiasm – their intelligent questions and eagerness to absorb new concepts turned each session into an engaging dialogue.

Flori
Senior Legal Counsel @ UiPathAs a Senior Legal Counsel, my main role is to provide legal advice and lead negotiations for international contracts with clients. What I liked most was the fact that the students showed interest in the subject, but also the fact that it was easy to emphasize how important it is to learn about AI, considering that it will influence our lives in all aspects.
We also got a lot of satisfaction from the simple idea that we are preparing ourselves together for some challenges and that we have a valuable advantage over those who don’t do it at all and do not realize the subtle effects of AI in their lives.

Antonia
Technical Writer @ UiPathI am a Technical Writer at UiPath, where I explain software solutions to different audiences. The most memorable moments were the interactions with students, open discussions about AI and the debate on the changes taking place in technology. I would describe this course as an eye-opening experience, full of meaningful interactions and funny moments.
-
Izabella
Senior Program Manager @ UiPathWhat impressed me the most was the simplicity with which the concepts are introduced, the interactivity of each lesson, and the activities that engage students in each lesson. The course not only explains AI, but makes it intuitive and engaging, providing a solid foundation from principles to ethics and applicability.
For those who may fear that they do not have enough technological experience, I can tell you that this course is built to be accessible, logical, and effective. It feels like child’s play, but it is at the same time profound and transformational – for both teachers and students.

Andreea
Learning Consulting Director @ UiPathI frequently coordinate initiatives related to learning and innovation, so when I was invited to teach this AI course for high school students, I accepted with enthusiasm. Not having a technical background, I wondered if I would be able to provide the students with a valuable experience, but the well-structured, clear and easily adaptable materials turned this challenge into a genuine learning opportunity – not only for them, but also for me.
This course does not require technical expertise, but openness, a desire to learn and the confidence that we can guide young people in a relevant conversation about the future.
The Pilot Project
The Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course was piloted in 2024 with 94 high schoolers aged 15 to 17 from underserved communities across 20 counties in Romania. The students are part of the Own Your Path program.
The course was held online, on the Own Your Path Digital Educational Platform, over 14 weeks, in 90-minute lessons.
The students had internet access through tablets provided in the program.
The trainers were UiPath employees from various non-technical and technical departments who volunteered their time to this project. They were coordinated by volunteer Instructional Designers who adapted the materials and guided their journey.
