Bot Academy

AI Education for Kids

Robot Town's AI helpers are glitching, and only your child can fix them! Bot Academy teaches kids how AI really works, through games instead of lessons, with Bolt the robot sidekick along for the ride.

What kids learn

How AI really works,
one building at a time.

Kids train a real AI to tell dogs from cats and watch it get things wrong. They catch a library robot making up facts, figure out which chat buddy is secretly a bot, and give a very literal Robot Chef instructions he can't mess up.

  • How AI learns from examples, and why bad or one-sided examples make it unfair
  • Why chatbots guess the next word, and why they can sound sure and still be wrong
  • How to write clear prompts, with Apple's on-device AI writing back
  • What tokens are, and why chatbots forget the start of long chats
  • How video apps pick what you see next, and the tricks that keep you watching
  • What never to share with an AI, how to spot scams, and when to ask a grown-up
  • That AI is a tool people build, not a friend with feelings
  • How voice assistants listen, and how a cloned voice can fake someone you love
  • Which everyday things use AI, and what people still do best
