🏆 Your Graduation Project
Make one thing with AI. Present it to your family.
🔥 Warm Up — 2 minutes
Ask your child: "What's the most useful thing you learned about AI in these sessions?" and "What's the most surprising thing?" Let them reflect freely — this is the start of their presentation.
"Today you make your graduation project. You choose what it is. You decide everything. I'll help, but it's yours."
🤖 The Activity — 15 minutes
Your child chooses one of these options — or comes up with their own:
A story about a child who discovers AI — what it helps them do, what it can't do
A quiz about AI itself — things they've learned in these 8 sessions
A simple "guide to AI" written for a friend their age who's never used it
A plan for something they want to do — a project, a trip, an event
Work through it together. Child makes decisions. You type. When it's done, print it or save it.
The presentation (5 minutes)
At the end of the session, your child presents their project to the family. They should explain:
- What they made and what it's about
- One decision they made that changed the project
- One thing AI got wrong that they had to fix
- The safety rule they remember best — and why it matters
🧩 The Twist — 5 minutes
Ask your child: "If you had to explain AI to a 6-year-old — what would you say? In three sentences."
Then: ask AI to explain itself in three sentences. Compare your child's explanation to AI's. Often the child's is better — more honest and more accurate. Make sure they know that.
End the programme by going through all five rules together one last time. Ask your child to say each one before you reveal it. If they can do it — they have genuinely learned them. These rules apply to every AI tool, every time, for the rest of their life.

Parent Notes — tap to expand
▼Synthesis and ownership — your child created something real, made independent decisions, and can explain AI to others. That is the definition of genuine learning.
- What would you tell a friend who had never used AI before?
- What is the most important rule to remember?
- Is AI useful? What is it useful for? What isn't it good for?
The presentation is important — verbalising what you learned is one of the best ways to cement it. Don't skip this step even if it feels awkward. A simple 5-minute 'show and tell' to one parent is enough.
The graduation moment is also a good time to establish ongoing habits: where AI tools can be used at home, what the house rules are, and that the door is always open if they see something that doesn't feel right.
