Exploring AI

Smart play, curious minds — where kids discover how AI thinks!

Target Age Groups

  • Junior Explorers (6–8 years) – Focus on visuals, storytelling, interactive games

  • Young Makers (9–12 years) – More hands-on activities with AI generation tools

Program Overview

Exploring AI introduces children to the exciting world of artificial intelligence through playful, creative, and interactive learning. They’ll discover how machines learn, explore real-world uses of AI, and even build their own mini AI-powered projects — all while developing curiosity, confidence, and digital smarts.

Key Learning Objectives

Kids (6–8 years):

  • Understand AI as "smart helpers" (e.g., Siri, robots, voice commands)

  • Learn through storytelling and role-play

  • Try age-appropriate digital tools like Teachable Machine or Quick Draw!

  • Begin thinking in patterns, logic, and “if-this-then-that” thinking

Kids (9–12 years):

  • Dive deeper into how AI works: machine learning, training data, algorithms

  • Use simple drag-and-drop coding to train models (e.g., with Scratch or web tools)

  • Create fun AI projects like a face detector, sorting bot, or voice-command game

  • Explore ethics: "Can machines be fair? What is AI good at or bad at?"

Weekly Themes

  • Interactive games: "Robot Says," "Human or Machine?"

    Story-based intro to how machines think.

  • Find AI in sports, games, shopping, music.

    Mini scavenger hunt (real-world & digital).

  • Create image or sound-based models using visual tools.

    Younger kids: “AI that sees shapes/colors”.

    Older kids: “Smart classifier” using objects or emojis.

  • Design a character that reacts to voice, gestures, or questions.

    Present it to the class as a “Robot Show & Tell”.

  • Simple logic puzzles & bias games.

    Kids role-play as “AI testers” to improve results.

Highlight Projects

  • AI Pet Detector – Kids train AI to recognize pets (real or plush!)

  • Dance-Bot – Control a robot character using body movement detection

  • My AI Friend – Create and name a chatbot with simple responses

  • Robot Olympics – Group game where teams design their own "AI-powered" sport or challenge
