Session 22 of 24 โ€” AI Builder

AI Builder ยท Session 22 of 24โฑ 30 min ยท ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง Parent aware

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Capstone Project โ€” Part 2

Build the core of your project.

๐ŸŽฏ Today's goal: Your child builds the main body โ€” the hardest and most substantial part of the capstone.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Warm Up โ€” 3 minutes

Warm Up

"Part 1 gave you a strong foundation. Today you build the main structure."

"Part 2 rule: quality over quantity. One section done brilliantly beats three done adequately."

๐Ÿค– The Activity โ€” 20 minutes

Main Activity
๐Ÿ“‹ Type this exactly
I completed the opening section last session: [paste or describe it]. Now I need the main body. Help me: plan the next 2-3 sections, identify what each covers, and make sure they flow from the opening.

Same process: research, draft, critique, revise. After each section, read the whole project so far โ€” does it flow?

๐Ÿ“‹ Type this exactly
Read what I have so far: [paste everything]. As an editor โ€” does this flow? Where does a reader lose momentum? What transition is weakest?

๐Ÿงฉ The Twist โ€” 5 minutes

Deep Dive
๐Ÿ“‹ Type this exactly
What is the one thing that would make someone who disagrees with my main point change their mind? Include that counterargument โ€” and then respond to it.

Adding the strongest counterargument makes the project more honest and more persuasive.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Safety Moment
“AI is a tool, not a friend”

Deep in a project, AI can start to feel like a collaborator. It is your tool. Every structural decision, every creative choice, every verified fact โ€” those are yours.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง Parent: read this aloud. Ask your child to repeat it back.

Parent Notes โ€” tap to expand

โ–ผ
What they learned

Sustained creative and analytical work across sessions.

Questions to ask
  • What is the strongest section so far?
  • What was the hardest decision?
  • Is there a counterargument you decided not to include? Why?
What to watch for

If the project is going well โ€” do not intervene. Let your child lead.

Safety in context

Two sessions in, the capstone should be visibly more sophisticated than anything from earlier sessions.
