Short Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently one of the most important and disruptive technologies and already has a strong influence on research, society, and people's daily lives. Thus, it is of utmost importance to provide AI literacy to young people to allow an informed discourse and proper and efficient use of the technology. In this talk, we will present a combined student- and teacher-centered approach that on one hand will ensure the provision of validated, trusted, and age-appropriate teaching material and on the other hand guides the teacher training institutions with sound information about the needed competencies to empower teachers in providing AI literacy to young learners.
