ChatGPT & Smart Prompting

Ask better questions. Trust nothing blindly.

Parent questions

Everything you’re wondering

The opposite. The whole course is about using it critically: checking answers, catching mistakes, and treating it as a draft partner. Kids leave more skeptical, not more dependent.

Yes. We use a sandboxed, kid-safe workspace with no open internet chat, and every session is 1-on-1 with a mentor guiding the activity.

None at all. This is a reading-and-thinking course. If they can type a sentence and read the reply, they are ready.

Three keepable projects, including a personal study-helper prompt set and a fact-checking collection they present to the family.
