HiKIDAI is aligned to internationally recognized standards for AI literacy and digital education. This document shows how each stage of our curriculum maps to UNESCO, ISTE, and DigCompEdu frameworks.
HiKIDAI’s curriculum covers all three proficiency levels — Understand, Apply, Create — across all four dimensions.
| HiKIDAI Stage | UNESCO Dimension | Proficiency Level |
|---|---|---|

| Grades 3–5 AI Detectives | AI Techniques & Applications | Understand → Apply |
| Grades 6–8 AI Builders | AI Techniques & Applications | Apply |
| Grades 9–10 AI Leaders | Ethics of AI | Apply → Create |
| Grades 11–12 Capstone | AI System Design | Create |
HiKIDAI games and activities align with the following ISTE Standards:

| 1.3 Knowledge Constructor | Students evaluate AI outputs and training data critically. |
| 1.4 Innovative Designer | Venture Pitch and Policy Lab require designing AI solutions for real problems. |
| 1.5 Computational Thinker | Debugging, decision trees, and prompt engineering develop algorithmic thinking. |
HiKIDAI supports educators in developing their own digital competence while providing ready‑to‑use resources for students.
