AI Fluency For Kids Course | Introduction

AI FLUENCY FOR KIDS | INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES AI is changing how we learn, work, create and solve problems. And for children growing up today, knowing how to work with AI could become one of the most important skills of the future. But knowing how to use ChatGPT isn't the same as being AI Fluent. Can you tell when AI is wrong? Do you know how to ask better questions? And when should you use your own thinking instead of AI? That's why we've created AI Fluency for Kids. WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR? Designed for children aged 9–14, this course will help you understand AI, use it confidently and develop the skills you need for the AI Age. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? We'll start with the basics — what AI is, how it works and where it gets its information. Then we'll explore how to use AI to learn, research, write, create presentations, make images, build games and much more. And most importantly, how to use AI safely, responsibly and thoughtfully. THE 4 Ds OF AI FLUENCY Our course draws on the AI Fluency Framework developed by Anthropic and its collaborators, built around four essential skills: Description — How to communicate clearly with AI. Delegation — Knowing what AI should do and what you should do yourself. Discernment — How to question and evaluate AI's answers. Diligence — Using AI safely and responsibly. HOW WILL YOU LEARN? Through short YouTube videos, usually under 10 minutes, with simple explanations, real-world examples and hands-on exercises. No complicated jargon. No technical knowledge required. And no boring lectures. MEET YOUR HOSTS I'm Sukirti Gupta, a technology expert with over 30 years of experience, from working on technology for the US Navy's Tomahawk programme to building mobile networks. Joining me is Kai (Kyon AI), our AI avatar, who'll help explain concepts, ask questions and guide you through challenges. We've also used AI tools to create many of the visuals and animations you'll see throughout the course. YOUR LEARNING PLAN Watch the modules in order, as each builds on the previous one. Pause the videos to try the exercises yourself. Experiment, ask questions and go at your own pace. WHAT'S NEXT? We're starting with the foundations and the 4 Ds of AI Fluency, but we'll keep adding new videos, tutorials and challenges as AI evolves. The entire course is available on YouTube. Subscribe and join Sukirti and Kai on your AI Fluency journey! Our goal is simple: We don't want AI to do children's thinking for them. We want children to become better thinkers, learners and creators with AI.
