Parent FAQs
At what age should my child start learning about AI?
Around 8 is a great time to start with playful, unplugged ideas like patterns and sorting. Deeper concepts like training data and bias fit naturally from 11 onwards.
Will learning AI increase screen time?
It doesn't have to. Our younger programmes are mostly unplugged, and the Learn Zone has daily goals of 10–15 minutes plus break reminders you control.
How can I help at home if I don't understand AI myself?
Ask curious questions together: “How do you think it knows that?” and “How could we check?”. Our weekly parent notes include one dinner-table question.
