Say: “We are ready to play a game called Go-Goals! We will learn more about
Sustainable Development Goals and how people are using AI to solve some of the
world’s problems. This is what your game board looks like. We are going to play
in groups of 5. Have you played Snakes and Ladders before? This game is very
similar to Snakes and Ladders. Players advance the number of spaces by rolling
a single dice. If a player lands at the bottom of a ladder, they can immediately
climb to the top. If a player lands at the top of the slide, they immediately move
to the bottom of the slide. If a player lands on SDG goal field (1-17), they will draw
a card corresponding to the goal number. Another player will read the card
question. A correct answer from the card drawer will allow the player to roll the
dice again. The first player to arrive on ‘2030’ is the winner. Let’s Play!”

Research Template – Provided in Student Handbook.

Purpose: To inspire students by local examples of AI application in their

community, to create a summary of their findings in a form of a future Job
Advertisement and share it with other teams.

Say: “Today’s goal is to uncover what are the future skills and jobs that all of us
will be involved in as AI advances. This research can be used to help us decide
what we want to learn to be ready for these jobs. As there are numerous jobs that
will be created due to AI, we will conduct this research in teams! Each team will
be given a theme, some guiding resources and laptop to research on AI-related
jobs. The themes include Health, Security, Education, Entertainment, Service,
Transport. You will search for current and emerging trends in employment and fill
in the Research Template given in the handbook. The company can even be a
start-up, big organisation or community project.”
Make even number of teams and divide give one theme to two teams. For
example, if you have 10 teams, divide any 5 themes giving same theme to two
teams. This will help in the activities of next modules.

Put your Research Skills in action:

Here are a set of themes – you will be getting one theme out of these to work on in a group
of 4. Research on the given theme and find out various organisations incorporating AI in your
theme sector. Also, look at the skill-sets required for such jobs today. With this, try to analyse
what skill-sets would be required 10 years down the line?
