Artificial Intelligence

The Arc

From Discover to Reflect

Every Saints Global badge follows the same arc — learn it, plan it, do it, then reflect on what changed.

Step 1 · DISCOVER
Discover
Learn what this badge is really about.
Define key artificial intelligence and automation terms (AI, machine learning, automation, data, algorithms, narrow vs. general AI) and explain them in your own words.
Identify and explain at least five everyday examples where AI is currently being used.
Step 2 · PLAN
Plan
Get ready — gather what you need.
Explain how AI and automation differ, including tasks, triggers, workflows, and variables, using real-life examples.
Create a simple timeline highlighting five major milestones in the development of artificial intelligence or automation.
Step 3 · ACT
Act
Do the work, in the real world.
Use an AI tool to assist with a real task (schoolwork, writing, research, planning, or creativity) and explain how you guided the tool with clear instructions.
Demonstrate three examples of writing effective prompts or instructions that produce improved AI output.
Identify ethical concerns in AI use, including bias, privacy, misinformation, or deepfakes, and explain appropriate responses.
Complete one approved AI service activity: either build a simple AI-assisted project or teach a short lesson explaining AI to others.
Step 4 · REFLECT
Reflect
Look back and see what changed.
Explain how responsible AI use requires human judgment, accountability, and moral awareness.
Describe one way AI can be used to bless others or strengthen learning without replacing personal effort.
