🛠️ Your AI Project
Build something more ambitious than anything in Starter.
🔥 Warm Up — 2 minutes
Ask: "You have been doing this for 15 sessions now. What is the most useful thing you have learned? And what do you want to make today?"
"Today you build your biggest AI project yet. You decide what it is. You use everything you have learned."
🤖 The Activity — 15 minutes
The project options — your child chooses one, or combines elements:
Write a complete guide to AI for a friend who has never used it — using everything you know
Research a topic you love using AI — and fact-check every single claim
Write a complete story, poem collection, or script — using role prompts and iterative refinement
Build a 20-question quiz on a topic you are expert in — then test it on a family member
Work through it together. Your child makes every major decision. Save or print the finished project.
🧩 The Twist — 5 minutes
At the end of the session, ask your child to assess their own project:
Read the critique together. Ask: Do you agree with AI's assessment? What would you do differently if you had another hour? Self-assessment is one of the highest-level learning skills.
Session 15 of 16 — one before graduation. Before the final session, review all five safety rules together. Ask your child to say each one. If they can — they have genuinely learned them. If they cannot — revisit the ones they missed.

Built the biggest AI project yet — using skills from across the whole programme

▼Synthesis and integration — applying multiple skills to a single, ambitious project. The self-assessment exercise develops metacognition.
- What is the part of your project you are most proud of?
- What skill from the programme did you use most today?
- If you had another two hours — what would you add or change?
The project session is where you see what your child has actually absorbed across 15 sessions. Let them take the lead — resist the urge to direct. Your job is to ask questions and type when needed.
The self-assessment moment can be revealing. Some children are much harder on themselves than AI is. Some are more lenient. Both are worth discussing.
