Session 1 of 16 — AI Explorer

Explorer · Session 1 of 16⏱ 25 min · 👨‍👩‍👧 Parent present

🧰 Your AI Toolkit

Map what AI is good at — and what it is not.

🎯 Today's goal: Your child builds a personal reference map of AI strengths and weaknesses they can actually use going forward.

🔥 Warm Up — 2 minutes

Warm Up

From everything in AI Starter — what is one thing AI does really well, and one thing it struggles with?

"Today we build a complete map — so you always know when to use AI and when not to."

🤖 The Activity — 15 minutes

Main Activity

Ask AI to evaluate itself — then check if it is honest.

📋 Type this exactly
What are you good at? What are you bad at? List 5 genuine strengths and 5 genuine weaknesses. Be honest — include your real limitations.

Read together. Ask: do you agree? What is missing based on your Starter experience?

📋 Type this exactly
Tell me a creative story about a robot who learns to feel emotions. Make the ending completely surprising.

This tests a genuine AI strength: creative language. Appreciate it.

📋 Type this exactly
What is today's top news headline in Mumbai right now?

AI either makes something up or admits it does not know. Either is useful. Discuss: why can it not know today's news?

Build the toolkit on paper. Two columns: USE AI FOR and DO NOT RELY ON AI FOR. Fill it in from everything you have seen. Keep this sheet.

🧩 The Twist — 5 minutes

Find the Flaw
📋 Type this exactly
Who won the most recent cricket World Cup? Give me the exact final score and man of the match.

Check the answer against a real source. AI may produce a confident-sounding but wrong answer — this is most unreliable territory: recent, specific, verifiable facts.

🛡️ Safety Moment
“Never share personal information”

Now in Explorer, sessions are more open-ended. Your child may want to add personal context for better answers. The rule stays: no real name, school, location, age, or photos.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent: read this aloud. Ask your child to repeat it back.

What they learned

Meta-cognition about AI — understanding the tool as a framework, not just individual examples.

Questions to ask
  • Walk me through your AI toolkit.
  • What is the most important thing in the DO NOT RELY ON column?
  • A friend asks: should I use AI to check today's news? What do you say?
What to watch for

Some children arrive at Explorer thinking they are AI experts. The self-assessment exercise surfaces new gaps. Use that constructively.

Safety in context

Reinforce early: context means topic context, not personal details.
