Teach your child how machines learn — even if you've never touched AI.
Complete, step-by-step courses for ages 5–10, written for parents. Every lesson is a 10–30 minute game or experiment with exact words to say. Progress is tracked, every phase ends in a real project, and most lessons need no screen at all.
Three complete courses, one for each age
Same big ideas everywhere — learning from examples, data, patterns, fairness — but the language, depth and activities are rebuilt for each age. Start at your child's age; younger material always works as a warm-up.
Little Explorers
20 phases, 120 full lessons. Play-based games — sorting machines, pattern detectives, robot training, reward games, data museums — building from "what is smart?" to training, breaking and fixing a real image AI. All 20 phases live — complete course.
AGES 7–8Junior Builders
20 phases, 120 full lessons. Real vocabulary — data, features, training, testing, bias — through experiments and a lab notebook, ending in an AI science fair. All 20 phases live — complete course.
AGES 9–10Young Creators
20 phases, 120 full lessons. Under the hood: algorithms, neural networks, language & generative AI, reinforcement learning, robotics, AI history and ethics — plus Scratch and spreadsheets, ending in an engineering capstone with Demo Day. All 20 phases live — complete course.
Play the AI games
Nine hands-on browser games — three for each age — that teach the core ideas by playing: sorting and patterns, training and testing, decision trees, fairness, and real neurons, gradient descent and language models. No setup, no sign-up.
Finish a course, earn a certificate
Complete a course and pass its friendly Graduation Quiz to earn a personalised certificate — with your child's name, Pip the robot, and a gold seal. Print it or save it as an image. A real, proud achievement.
Free guides for parents
New to this? Our free articles walk you through it: how to teach a 6-year-old about AI, screen-free activities, talking to kids about ChatGPT, is AI safe for children, and more — all jargon-free.
How it works
Every course follows the same simple rhythm, so you always know what to do next.
Read the lesson
Two minutes for you. Each lesson explains the idea in plain words and gives you the exact things to say.
Play the activity
10–30 minutes together — games, experiments, building, surveys. Most need only things already in your home.
Build the project
Every phase ends with a hands-on project your child owns: a sorting machine, a pattern book, a trained AI, a Demo Day.
Tick it off
Mark each step done. Progress saves on your device, fills the bars, and unlocks a printable certificate at 100%.
Questions parents ask
I know nothing about AI. Can I really teach this?
Yes — that's exactly who this site is written for. You read each lesson (about two minutes), and it tells you what to do and what to say. You'll learn the concepts one small step ahead of your child, which research suggests is a wonderful way to learn together.
Isn't 5 too young for AI?
Too young for screens and code — yes. Too young for the ideas — no. The 5–6 course is sorting games, pattern hunts and pretend-robot play. It builds the mental model ("machines learn from examples") that everything later stands on. Nearly all of it is screen-free.
How much screen time is involved?
Ages 5–6: almost none until the final phase, and always with you driving. Ages 7–8: roughly one supervised laptop session per phase. Ages 9–10: more hands-on computer work, still supervised, using free tools (Teachable Machine, Google Sheets, Scratch) that require no child account.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The courses are free, the recommended tools are free, and most activities use cardboard, socks, toys and paper you already own.
How long does a course take?
Each course has 20 phases, each with 6 lessons and a hands-on project — 140 steps in total. At a relaxed pace of two or three sessions a week, a course is one to two years of gentle companionship that grows with your child. There's no clock — the checkboxes wait for you.
Is my child's data collected?
No. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Progress checkmarks are stored only in your own browser on your own device.
