Through Play & Patterns
Interactive AI Concepts Course for Kids
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, helps computers learn patterns and make smart decisions with help from people.
In Smart Tech Kids, children explore what AI is and how it works in everyday life. Kids learn that AI is created by humans and trained using examples, rules, and patterns. Together, we explore how computers learn, recognize, and respond always guided by people.
Children discover where AI appears in the real world, such as voice assistants, navigation apps, games, and tools that help doctors, artists, and teachers. Through games, sorting activities, and pattern play, kids experience how teaching a computer works.
This course builds understanding, confidence, and responsibility around technology helping kids become thoughtful users and future creators of smart tools.

The course consists of 4 weekly sessions, each lasting exactly 40 minutes. We have found this to be the perfect "Active Engagement" window long enough to dive deep into nutrition, but short enough to keep every child focused and energized.
To keep our classroom a safe, private, and high-energy space for all children, we do not provide recordings. However, you can log in to our live Zoom sessions from any device, anywhere—so you never have to miss the fun!
We suggest the age range as a guide, but we know that parents know their children best! Our classes are designed so that each age group takes away different levels of understanding. No matter their age, they will learn at their own pace and find something fascinating. If you feel your child is ready to join the course, they are more than welcome.
We want you to feel confident joining the club! We offer a full refund if you cancel at least 14 days before the start date. If after the first session you feel it isn't the right fit, we offer a partial refund of $80. After that point, refunds are no longer available as your child's seat is reserved
