The right track if your child...
Explorer is designed for kids who use ChatGPT at a basic level — just chatting, asking homework questions. They don't understand how AI works or what's truly possible.
Signs your child is an Explorer
→Uses ChatGPT but only for basic Q&A
→Doesn't know how AI generates answers vs Google
→Has heard of AI art/video but hasn't created any
→Copies AI answers for homework without understanding
→Curious about technology but needs guidance
What they'll become in 4 weeks
→Explains how AI works in their own words to friends
→Uses AI as a thinking partner, not a copy machine
→Creates AI art, video, music, and presentations
→Spots AI errors and misinformation (critical thinking)
→Has a live AI portfolio website to showcase their work
