What they'll learn

  • Spot the AI around them Find where AI is already working in their day — apps, games, assistants and feeds.
  • How feeds decide Understand how recommendations choose what they see next.
  • How assistants 'hear' See how a voice assistant turns sound into an answer.
  • Be the boss of AI Stay in charge of the technology instead of being run by it.
Final project

An 'AI around me' map and a family talk about screen-time and feeds.

The 13-week journey

  1. Sprint 1 — Spot the AI

    A hunt for AI in everyday things — assistants, cameras, maps, games; sorting 'AI or not?' Ends with an 'AI around me' map.

  2. Sprint 2 — How it decides

    Recommendation games (why you see what you see), and a friendly look at how a voice assistant turns sound into answers. The 'it wants your attention' idea, gently.

  3. Sprint 3 — Be the boss

    Healthy habits: choosing on purpose instead of being pulled, asking a grown-up, and one 'smart screen' rule each child writes. A first taste of training a model to tie it together.

  4. Week 13 — Showcase

    Families tour the AI maps and hear each child's one smart habit.

What we cover

Every topic, unit by unit — so you know exactly what your child builds and learns.

01

Spot the AI

  • Finding AI in assistants, cameras, maps and games
  • The 'AI or not?' sorting game
  • Building an 'AI around me' map
  • Why so many everyday things now use AI
02

How it decides

  • Recommendation games — why you see what you see
  • How a voice assistant turns sound into answers
  • The 'it wants your attention' idea, gently
  • Feeds are designed, not neutral
03

Be the boss of it

  • Choosing on purpose instead of being pulled along
  • When to ask a grown-up
  • Writing one 'smart screen' rule
  • A first hands-on model to tie it together
04

Showcase & habits

  • Finishing the poster
  • Presenting one smart habit
  • A family tour of the AI maps
What they show off

A child-made 'AI in my day' poster, presented to families with one smart habit each.

The AI-literacy course for the youngest learners: AI is already in their day, and this makes it visible and unscary. Kids learn where AI is, how it decides what they see, and how to stay in charge — the calm, capable relationship with technology every parent wants.

The hooks

Kid hook: “I know where the AI is hiding — and I’m the boss of it.” Parent hook: “They understand feeds and assistants instead of being run by them. That’s the literacy I actually care about.”

Who it’s for

Every curious 7–9-year-old; no prerequisites. Especially good for screen-cautious families who want understanding over fear.

Outcomes — by the end, students can

Name where AI shows up in daily life; explain simply how recommendations and voice assistants work; describe that feeds are designed to hold attention; state one healthy AI/screen habit of their own.

Tools & compliance

Discussion, sorting games and account-free hands-on demos on school tablets; instructor-driven for anything generative. No student accounts, no chatbots.

Where this course fits

Level 4 of the Explorers path; a strong base for AI Trainers at 10–12.

Parent questions

Is this just screen-time scaremongering?

No — it's empowerment: children learn how AI systems work so they can use them deliberately and calmly.

Any accounts or chatbots?

No student accounts and no chatbots; discussions and hands-on, account-free tools only.

Is it too abstract for this age?

It's built from things they already use every day, so it lands concretely.
