Rock–Paper–Scissors
A model that recognises hand gestures from the webcam and plays back.
AI FoundationsAges 7–10Beginner
AI Explorers
Teach a computer to see, hear and sort — by example.
A gentle, playful first taste of artificial intelligence. Kids train their own mini-models to recognise drawings, sounds and gestures, building real intuition for how machines learn — plus the habits to use AI kindly and wisely.

Parent questions
Everything you're wondering
Yes. We use kid-safe, sandboxed tools with no open internet chat. Every activity is mentor-guided and camera use is optional and local.
No prior coding needed. A little Scratch helps in the final project, and the mentor covers everything at your child’s pace.
That is a core thread. Kids learn about fairness, honesty and when to trust an AI’s answer — skills that matter more every year.
Sessions are short and active, mixing hands-on sorting games with on-screen training so it never feels like passive watching.
