Artificial intelligence is transforming how we write, design, and solve problems. As parents look to equip their children for an automated world, a crucial question arises: How do we teach kids to use AI safely, critically, and creatively?

Enter Coco Coders’ AI Adventurers - a 6-week online course designed specifically for children aged 10 - 12. Rather than treating AI as a shortcut or a passive distraction, this program turns young learners into active, responsible AI creators.

Moving Beyond the Hype: What is AI Literacy?

Many children already interact with generative AI tools to generate images or write homework drafts. However, using a tool without understanding its mechanics can lead to blind trust, misinformation, or privacy risks.

The AI Adventurers course helps kids understand:

  • How AI models learn (and why their output depends entirely on their training data).

  • Where AI excels - and where human creativity must lead.

  • How to critically evaluate responses rather than accepting them at face value.

Through hands-on projects - such as writing collaborative stories, creating digital comics, and designing products - Kids will explore core computational concepts.

Course Snapshot

  • Format: Live, small-group online classes led by expert coding instructors.

  • Duration: 6 weeks (one 60-minute session per week).
