Lesson preview

Lesson 1: AI judgment before AI speed.

The first session teaches kids to slow down, inspect AI output, and keep responsibility for the work.

Parent promise

The point is not faster homework.

Kids learn to use AI for planning, feedback, explanation, and practice while keeping the final thinking visible.

1

Warm-up

Kids compare two AI answers and decide which one sounds better, which one is more useful, and which one still needs checking.

2

Mini lesson

Teach the difference between a helpful assistant, a confident guesser, and a tool that still needs human judgment.

3

Hands-on lab

Students ask AI for a study plan, then mark what is specific, vague, risky, missing, or worth keeping.

4

Reflection

Each student writes one rule they will use before trusting an AI answer.

Student pledge excerpt

Five rules kids practice from day one.

I do not paste in private information.

I ask AI to explain, quiz, organize, or critique before I ask it to produce final work.

I check important facts with another source.

I can explain what I changed after AI helped me.

I ask a parent, teacher, or trusted adult when the stakes are real.

Founding beta

The full beta turns this into eight project-based sessions.

Families get weekly labs, recorded lessons, parent guides, project rubrics, and a final student showcase.
