They get the mechanism
What it means for a model to "learn" from examples, why the same question can get different answers, and why it is neither magic nor a person.
Programme launching — first groups forming now
Next Generation AI Kids will use AI anyway. Let's teach them how.
Artificial intelligence courses and workshops for children aged 7–16. We show them what happens behind the buttons, get them building something of their own, and explain where the technology goes wrong. In their language, without the jargon.

- Small groups
- Online or in the classroom
- Every module ends with a project
Why it matters
We don't teach kids to press buttons. We teach them to think.
Children meet artificial intelligence in their homework, in games and on their phones. Access to the tools isn't what makes the difference — understanding them is.
They check before they believe
Practice on real cases: where the model made something up, how to compare two sources, and why "the computer said so" is not an argument.
They create, not just consume
An illustrated story, a small game, a chatbot with a personality. Your child goes home with something they made, not with a feed they scrolled.
They know where the line is
Personal data, edited images, conversations with strangers, copied homework. Simple rules, discussed through examples rather than taught as a lecture.
Courses and workshops
What your child learns, by age
Three tracks, built around what a child can genuinely handle at that age. Every module ends with a project they can show at home.
Explorers · ages 7–9
First meeting with AI
- Screen-free games that explain what "learning from examples" means
- How to ask an AI assistant clearly — and why the way you ask matters
- Illustrations and stories, generated together with the trainer
- Safety rule number one: what we never type into a chat
Builders · ages 10–12
Build things with AI
- Good prompts versus vague prompts, step by step
- Image, sound and text: which tool fits which task
- Their own assistant, with rules the child writes
- How to spot an invented fact and how to verify it
Creators · ages 13–16
From idea to product
- Their own project, taken to the end: idea, prototype, presentation
- Useful automations for school and for personal projects
- Enough code and data literacy to understand what runs underneath
- Ethics, copyright and model bias, through concrete cases
Not sure which track fits? Tell us your child's age and what they are into, and we will recommend the right one.
Step by step
How enrolment works
No long forms and no hidden subscriptions. Four steps, over e-mail.
-
You write to us
One e-mail with your child's age and what would interest them. We reply with the available options and the current price list.
-
We pick the group
Together we settle the track, the schedule and the format — online or in person, depending on where a group is opening.
-
Trial session
The first session is a trial: your child sees whether they enjoy it, and you see how we work and which tools we use.
-
The module starts
Your child works on their project, and at the end you get a summary of what they learned and what they built.
For parents
What we promise you, in writing
We wrote our rules down before opening the first group. They will be the same for every trainer who teaches with us.
- An adult in the room, always. Children are never left alone with an AI tool, online or in the classroom.
- No personal data in the tools. Full names, addresses, school details, family photos — none of it goes into a chat.
- Age-appropriate tools. With the youngest groups we work on the trainer's account, projected on screen. Your child does not need an account.
- The screen is a means, not the point. Part of every session happens on paper and in conversation. Screen time is limited and purposeful.
- You know what your child did. At the end of each module you receive a short summary and the project itself, in a format you can open at home.
Frequently asked
What parents ask us
My child has never written code. Is that a problem?
No. None of the tracks starts from code. We start from examples, games and conversations about how a machine "thinks". Code only appears in the 13–16 group, and only as much as is needed to understand what happens underneath.
Are the courses online or in person?
Both. Online groups start first, because they bring together children from different cities. In-person workshops open wherever we find a partner — a school, an after-school club or an event space.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on the track, the number of sessions and the format (online or in the classroom). Since these are our first groups, we send the current list by e-mail so you never land on an outdated price page.
Write to us and you get the full breakdown, with no obligation.
Is it safe to let a child use artificial intelligence?
It depends entirely on how they use it. A child left alone with an open chat is a problem. A child who understands what the tool is, what must never go into it and how to verify what comes back is, on the contrary, better protected than one who has never heard the subject discussed.
Our working rules are listed above, in the section for parents.
What equipment is needed at home?
For online groups: a laptop or desktop with a microphone and a stable connection. A tablet just about works, but the older groups need a keyboard. There are no complicated installs — we use tools that run in the browser.
Who teaches?
Trainers with experience working with children, selected by us and prepared on our materials and rules. We are putting together the first team right now — if you are a trainer and want to teach with us, the next section is for you.
For trainers
Got a good course? We are looking for trainers for the first groups.
If you already teach AI, robotics, digital media or computational thinking to children, let's bring your course into our programme. We are putting together the team we start with: you run the session, we handle the rest.
Send us a short description: the topic, the target age, the duration and your experience with groups of children. We reply with the next steps.
- Your materials stay yours You keep your course, its structure and your style. We only adapt it to the safety rules for children.
- You don't sell the seats We take care of promotion, enrolment, communication with parents and group logistics.
- Flexible schedule Teach online or at the partner venues we bring into the programme, in short modules. You decide how many groups you can take.
- One quality standard The same safety rules and the same final-project structure across every course in the programme.
For schools and after-school clubs
Ready-structured programmes we can start this term
We are not asking you to build a new subject. We bring the structure, the materials and, subject to availability, the trainer. Write to us and we set the calendar together.
Tell us how many children, which ages and what equipment your lab has. We send the curriculum, the lesson plan and the ways we can work together. These are our first partnerships, so we can fit them around your timetable.
- A curriculum in modules Split by age group, with clear objectives for every session and a project at the end.
- Workshops in your school We can bring the trainer to your classroom, for a one-off workshop or for an elective that runs a full term.
- Materials for teachers Worksheets, a lesson plan and a preparation session, so your own teacher can run the class.
- Clear rules for the institution Which tools are used, which data must never be entered, and how to communicate that to parents.
Shall we start?
One e-mail is enough
Write to us as a parent, as a trainer or on behalf of a school. We read every message and answer with concrete next steps, not a brochure.
