A (60-minute) tour for children and teenagers who already use technology, ChatGPT, images, games, and for families who want that curiosity to have method, limits, and a visible result.
No prior assessment is necessary. The first class serves to get to know the student, adapt the pace (also if there are special educational needs) and choose the type of project.
What we do in weeks
Weeks 1–2. How an AI “learns”
With short projects, we observe data, patterns, and biases. The goal is not to memorize definitions, but for students to be able to explain, in their own words, why a tool is right or wrong.
Weeks 3–4. Create with discernment
Art, stories, or game ideas using generative tools. We work on prompts, what can be published, privacy, copyright, and when not to use AI (for example, to copy homework).
Week 5. Final Project
A mini-project of their own: a co-written story, a series of images, a simple classifier, a game idea... Something they can show at home and explain how they did it.
What does the family take with them?
• a 5-week overarching theme, not random, aimless classes
• Safe usage habits that are also useful at school
• Finally, a completed project and a brief note on how to proceed.
If the student has SEN (ADHD, dyslexia, organizational or rhythm difficulties), I break the work down into shorter steps, use visual aids, and measure progress in specific tasks, not speed.
