🌱 What Changed This Year — April 2027

🎯 Today's goal: Your child takes stock of a complete year of AI learning — what changed, what grew, what surprised them.

🔥 Warm Up

Warm Up

A year ago, what did you think AI was? What do you think now?

"The difference between those two answers is what you learned."

🤖 The Activity

Main Activity

📋 Type this exactly

I have spent a year doing monthly AI sessions covering: animals, space, cooking, art, stories, sport, holidays, health, history, money, and the future. Help me reflect on this year. Ask me: what surprised you most, what changed how you see something, what will you remember in 10 years.

📋 Type this exactly

What are the 5 most important things I now understand about AI that I didn't a year ago? Help me articulate them clearly — not just 'AI can do lots of things', but specific, precise understanding.

📋 Type this exactly

What do I still not understand about AI — what genuine questions do I have that a year of learning has not answered?

🧩 The Twist

Go Deeper

📋 Type this exactly

If you could talk to the version of yourself from a year ago — what is the one thing you would most want them to know about AI?

Write this down. It is the most honest summary of what you learned.

🛡️ Safety Moment

“AI is a tool, not a friend”

After a year of learning — this rule should be deep habit. AI is genuinely powerful and genuinely useful. It is not your friend, not your authority, and not a replacement for your own thinking. You use it. It does not use you.
