They imagine it. AI helps make it. It's still theirs.

What they'll learn

  • Direct AI image tools Turn their own ideas into pictures by directing AI tools, staying the author the whole way.
  • Tell a real story Shape a story with a clear beginning, middle and end — not just random images.
  • What makes a picture good Learn how colour, character and scene come together into an image worth showing.
  • Honest about AI Say clearly where AI helped — and understand why that honesty is something to be proud of.
Final project

An illustrated AI-assisted storybook, read aloud at the showcase.

The 13-week journey

  1. Sprint 1 — Ideas first

    Storymaking unplugged: characters, settings and a simple plot; then directing an AI image tool (teacher-driven) to bring a character to life. The author is always the child.

  2. Sprint 2 — Scenes and pictures

    Turning a story into scenes; describing a picture clearly so the tool makes what you meant; picking, fixing and choosing — taste as a skill. Ends with a three-scene illustrated tale.

  3. Sprint 3 — The storybook

    Assembling the book, adding their own drawing alongside AI art, and the honesty habit: an 'AI helped here' mark. Practising reading it aloud.

  4. Week 13 — Showcase

    A story corner: each child reads their book and shows the art; families take home a printed copy.

What they show off

A printed, illustrated storybook each child authored and directed, with an 'AI helped here' sticker where it did.

The course that brings the artists and storytellers into AI. Children learn to direct generative tools with their own imagination — and pick up, at exactly the right age, the authorship habit the whole school is known for: your idea, your story, and you say when AI helped.

The hooks

Kid hook: “I made a whole storybook — the pictures, the characters, all my idea.” Parent hook: “They learn to use AI as a creative tool and to be honest about it — the habit everyone wishes they’d learned.”

Who it’s for

The drawers, the storytellers, the imaginative — no experience needed. A gentle, creative first AI course for screen-cautious families.

Outcomes — by the end, students can

Direct an AI image tool toward their own idea; structure a simple story; describe a picture clearly; judge and choose between options; mark honestly where AI helped.

Tools & compliance

Teacher-driven generative image tools on the instructor’s machine; school tablets for storyboarding; printed output. No student accounts; all generation supervised.

Where this course fits

Level 3 of the Explorers path; leads to AI All Around Us, then on to Generative Studio at 10–12 for art, music and video.

Parent questions

Doesn't AI art do the work for them?

No — the idea, story and choices are theirs; AI is a tool they direct, and we teach them to say where it helped.

Do they need to read and write well?

Helpful but not required — we work with pictures and spoken ideas too.

Which tools, and are they safe?

Age-appropriate, teacher-driven image tools on the instructor's machine; no student accounts.
