About
Stephen P. Kaputsos is an education researcher specializing in AI literacy, ethics education, and K-12 curriculum development. His work sits at the critical intersection of artificial intelligence and pedagogy, focusing on empowering young learners to understand, evaluate, and critically engage with the AI-driven world they are inheriting. Kaputsos is perhaps best known for his contributions to developing middle school curricula that make AI concepts accessible and ethically grounded for diverse student populations. His highly cited 2022 paper on AI and Ethics curricula for middle school youth, which has garnered 173 citations, documented lessons learned from three distinct project-based learning programs — Creative AI, Dancing with AI, and others — offering invaluable insights for educators and curriculum designers alike. His 2021 work examining teacher perspectives on the "How To Train Your Robot" curriculum (67 citations) further highlights his commitment to understanding implementation challenges from the educator's standpoint. Through his research, Kaputsos has meaningfully advanced the field of AI education by demonstrating how schools can serve as vital spaces for developing critical technological citizenship. His work is particularly significant for researchers and practitioners seeking evidence-based approaches to preparing all students — regardless of background — to thoughtfully navigate an increasingly algorithmic society.
