They imagine it. AI helps make it. It's still theirs.
Book a free trialWhat 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.
An illustrated AI-assisted storybook, read aloud at the showcase.
The 13-week journey
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Week 13 — Showcase
A story corner: each child reads their book and shows the art; families take home a printed copy.

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.
