Facilitator pathway
Lead an AI literacy experience that keeps children thinking.
Use this sequence in a classroom, camp, parent group, or community program. It combines discussion, invention, an adult-supported AI test, and reflection.

Ready-to-run sequence
Four steps from introduction to reflection.
The printable guide includes facilitator notes and materials. Pair it with the interactive Inventor Adventure when participants are ready to test an AI tool.
Groups of 3–5
Invent together
Choose a real problem, develop an invention, make a sketch or prototype, and pitch the idea to another person.
At home
Test AI with an adult
Students use the guided tests alongside an adult. The assignment is to examine the AI—not let it do the thinking.
Next-day group
Reflect and compare
Share what the AI agreed with, guessed about, missed, or changed. Return to the five principles.
Keep the adult in the loop.
Children should use an AI tool only with an adult and should never enter a name, school, address, private photo, or personal question.
