Disclosure: This course contains the use of artificial intelligence for animation and the voice. The course itself was designed and engineered from over 20 years of experience.

Your child talks to voice assistants, gets video recommendations and unlocks phones with their face. This course shows them what is actually going on inside, in a way an 8-year-old can follow and a grown-up will still enjoy.

AI for Kids starts from the very first question, "what even is learning?", and builds up one small idea at a time. There is no code and no scary maths. Instead there are stories, cartoons, games and things to try at the kitchen table: sorting socks, describing Grandma to a robot, playing "guess my animal", and "training" a brother or sister the way a computer is trained.

What is inside right now

The first 32 lessons are ready to watch. Each one is a short animated video of about 13 minutes, so a lesson fits easily into an evening or a classroom period. Together they cover:

- The two ways anything learns, and a short (and funny) history of thinking machines

- Why a rule book robot fails to recognise a cat, and why a parrot is not really learning

- Data, labels and features: how experience becomes something a machine can learn from

- How pictures, sounds and words are turned into numbers and vectors

- The input-output box, what "wrong" means to a machine, and how it gets better with practice

- Overconfidence and bias, and the five ways an AI can be fooled

- Real AI in daily life: spam filters, YouTube recommendations, face unlock and self-driving cars

- A mini quiz and a capstone project that pulls all the big ideas together

New lessons are added regularly. The course grows into neurons, neural networks, word meanings, attention and the large language models behind tools like ChatGPT, and everything new is included at no extra cost once you enrol.

Who it is for

Curious kids aged 8 and up, parents who want to learn alongside them, teachers and homeschoolers who need a ready-made introduction to AI, and any beginner who wants AI explained without jargon. Learners under 18 should take the course with a parent, guardian or teacher.

By the end of the first 32 lessons your child will be able to explain how a machine learns from examples, why AI sometimes gets things confidently wrong, and where AI shows up in their own day. That is a head start most adults do not have yet.
