Artificial Intelligence for Children Ages 8–12 is a fun, beginner-friendly online course that introduces young learners to the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence through simple explanations, practical examples, activities and quizzes.
Designed especially for children aged 8–12, the course helps learners understand AI while also teaching them how to begin using it thoughtfully and responsibly.
What children will learn
The course currently includes:
Topic 1 – Meet Artificial Intelligence
Children discover what AI is, where they may encounter it in everyday life, how AI learns, how it differs from human intelligence and why AI can sometimes make mistakes.
Topic 2 – Talking to AI: Prompts and Instructions
Children learn what a prompt is, the difference between clear and unclear prompts, how to improve their instructions, ask useful follow-up questions and think carefully about the answers AI provides. They will also learn the importance of checking important information rather than believing everything AI says.
Each topic includes age-appropriate lessons, activities and quizzes to help children practise what they have learned.
Suitable for Beginners
No previous knowledge of AI or computer programming is required. Children can work through the course online at their own pace, independently or with support from a parent or guardian.
