AI for Kids
Parents and their kids (about ages 8-12), learning together
AI for Kids is a five-lesson online course for children aged roughly 8 to 12 to work through with a parent. It covers what AI really is, using it for homework honestly, catching it when it makes things up, staying safe, and building a shared rule for AI at home.
Five short lessons to do together at the table: what AI really is, using it for homework the honest way, catching it when it makes things up, staying safe, and having fun with it.
What you'll be able to do
- Your child can explain, in their own words, what AI actually is
- They can use AI to help with homework without letting it think for them
- They can spot when an answer sounds sure but might be made up
- They know exactly what never to tell a chatbot, and why
- They've made something fun with AI — a story, a game idea, an art idea
- You have a shared, simple rule for AI use at home you both agree on

A one-page AI card your child keeps by the desk
