New course: Artificial intelligence for kids
· version v12
A new course explains how ChatGPT and other AI work, why AI makes things up, how to write a good prompt and how to spot AI fakes and scams.
There is a brand-new course on HexoQuest: Artificial intelligence. In nine short levels, kids look inside the AI they hear about every day and learn to use it wisely.
What kids do
- Predict the next word with a mini language model and see how "sure" it is.
- Move the creativity slider (temperature) and watch sentences go from boring to nonsense.
- See how AI cuts text into tokens.
- Teach a robot to tell circles from triangles by drawing examples.
- Catch an AI making things up by checking its answer against a source.
- Build the perfect prompt from five parts and watch the answer improve.
- Survive a phone call from a cloned voice that pretends to be Mom.
- Sort posts into real or fake, and examples of AI use into OK or not OK.
Every level ends with a question that checks understanding and a concept card for your collection.
Safe for schools
Everything runs right in the browser. There is no real AI behind the scenes, nothing costs extra, and no child's text or drawing is sent anywhere.
