Abstract
As future industries and educational paradigm changes are led by major technologies of the 4th industrial revolution, such as robots, AI, and IoT, talent cultivation through AI education in elementary, middle and high schools is becoming increasingly important. AI education is being strengthened in elementary courses in Korea, China, and Japan, as well as in the United States and the United Kingdom. Various research has been conducted actively to establish curriculums, human resource development, and educational infrastructure for AI education. In this study, we proposed a 7-step curriculum and major activities for elementary AI education through the analysis of the operation status of AI-leading school programs conducted since 2020 and the functions of SW and tools used for education. We focused on helping elementary school students to understand and utilize AI education more systematically by proposing educational tools that can be used for activities and actions at each step.

Keywords
AI education, elementary AI education, AI curriculum for children, educational AI program, educational AI tool.
