A guide for parents
AI skills,
done safely
AI tools can be useful, and they can be confidently wrong. In our sessions, kids will learn to use AI as a tool, catch its mistakes and keep their information private. Here's how, and how you can help at home.
In our sessions
Check the machine
As we put it to players: “Use AI as a tool, catch its mistakes and keep your information yours. See how AI and virtual reality are changing the game.”
Ages 10–12
Sort your own shot cards to see how AI learns patterns, then catch an AI demo making mistakes.
Ages 13–17
Build your own stat tracker under a codename, test a small AI model on FSL laptops and check its predictions. Watch AI summarize a phone plan, then check every line yourself, and learn how credit works.
Our AI rules
The rules every session will follow
No AI accounts
No child opens an AI account, and no child's name, face or personal information goes into any AI tool. Kids under 13 use AI only on FSL laptops with no internet connection, or watch a demo an adult runs.
Written permission
Written permission from a parent or guardian to take part, for AI activities and, separately, for any photo.
Nothing to sell
We never send kids to any company, and we take no referral money.
At home
Five ideas to try at home
Test it on something you know
With your own account and your child beside you, ask an AI about something you both know well, like a favorite team or a game you watched. See if you can catch it getting something wrong.
Check one fact
AI can sound sure and still be wrong. Pick one thing it says and check it somewhere else, like an official website or a library book.
Keep private things private
Never type your child's full name, school, address or phone number into an AI tool or chatbot, or upload their photo.
Talk about fake pictures and voices
AI can make pictures, videos and voices that look and sound real. If something seems off, or asks for money or secrets, check with a trusted adult before answering or sharing.
Check the age rules
Check each AI app's minimum age and privacy settings. If your child is under that age, use the app yourself while they watch.
No cost to families
Hear about the pilot first
Kids will take part through a program they already attend, so FSL can't sign a child up directly. Join the family list and we'll let you know when a pilot site is confirmed.
