Imagine Learning has unveiled “The AI Question”, the first course in a structured AI-focused learning pathway aimed at middle and high school students. Scheduled to launch for Back to School 2026, the course is designed to help students develop critical judgment, ethical reasoning, and collaborative problem-solving skills in an AI-driven world. This initiative aligns with Imagine Learning Chief Product Officer Kinsey Rawe’s vision of moving beyond merely adapting AI to traditional educational models, instead leveraging it to foster equity, agency, and durable skills.

“AI isn’t just changing the tools we use it’s reshaping the very conditions of learning and work,” said Rawe. “The real risk isn’t moving too fast but rather moving too slowly for students who need access to these skills now. ‘The AI Question’ is the first step in a pathway designed to ensure every learner develops the critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and human connection that AI can never replace.”

Unlike typical courses that emphasize technical skills or software training, “The AI Question” encourages students to investigate the systems behind AI and the human decisions that guide them. By exploring real-world case studies, tackling collaborative challenges, and engaging in open-ended inquiry, students will:

  • Understand how AI functions and identify potential failures
  • Analyze bias and ethical considerations in machine learning
  • Envision the future of work, creativity, and civic life in an AI era
  • Practice interpreting, questioning, and refining AI-generated outputs
  • Strengthen enduring skills such as critical thinking, empathy, and communication

This AI Learning Pathway is structured as a coherent series of courses. Beginning with “The AI Question”, the program will expand to include additional courses covering ethics, creativity, and the future of work. Each course builds on the previous one, creating a progressive and immersive learning experience.

“These courses aren’t about teaching students to use AI,” Rawe added. “They’re about preparing them to live in a world shaped by it: to ask better questions, make difficult choices, and lead with both intelligence and humanity.”

With “The AI Question”, Imagine Learning positions students to engage with AI thoughtfully, equipping them not only to navigate technological advancements but also to develop the human skills that remain irreplaceable in the 21st century. By fostering ethical reasoning and critical thinking, the initiative emphasizes that education can evolve alongside AI while cultivating resilient, future-ready learners.
