Here's what it looks like, start to finish.
Browse courses and challenges organized by grade, topic, and skill. Topics include travel planning, storytelling, science research, and more. Each one comes with everything you need to get started.
Sit down with your kid and work through the activity as a team. You'll prompt AI tools, discuss what comes back, make decisions together, and learn something new. Both of you.
Show off what your family created. Save it, print it, or share it with the community. Then come back next week and do another one.
Every activity ends with something your kid made — not a worksheet. Here are a few examples from our courses.
Your kid sketches a creature, consults AI like a biology expert, and writes a field guide entry with a scientific name, habitat, diet, and defense mechanisms.
Kids start with their own sketch, then use AI to co-write a short story and generate an illustration. They choose the title and make every creative decision.
Your kid picks a destination and builds a full itinerary — flights, hotels, activities, restaurants — using AI as a travel planner. Then they fact-check a detail.
Big Thinkers activities teach three things every kid needs to navigate a world where AI is in everything.
Not magic. Not a brain. A tool built by humans that learns from examples — and makes mistakes.
Good prompts get good answers. Kids learn the 5 W's framework and how to iterate when AI misses the mark.
The real skill. Kids learn to question, fact-check, and push back — instead of trusting AI by default.

Everything parents need to know about AI education for kids. What to teach, how to start, and hands-on activities you can do together this week.
Five hands-on AI activities for kids you can try at home tonight. No tech skills needed, just an AI tool, a kitchen table, and 30 minutes.
A ready-to-use template for setting AI boundaries with your kids. Covers which tools, when, what's off-limits, and what to do when things go wrong.
It's a $2.99 guide that teaches you the basics of AI before you sit down with your kids. It covers what AI actually is, which tools to use, how to prompt well, and how to build your family's approach to AI. Think of it as a crash course for parents — takes under an hour and costs less than a coffee.
No. Every kid course includes parent prep materials for each activity, so you always know what to do. The parent guide is for parents who want to get confident with AI on their own first, before sitting down with their kids.
With the right guardrails, yes. Every Big Thinkers activity is parent-led — you work through it with your kid, set boundaries together, and we give you a template for family AI rules. We also teach kids how to spot AI mistakes and fact-check answers so they never trust AI blindly.
No. That's the whole point. Every activity walks both of you through it step by step. You'll learn alongside your kid — and research shows kids learn more when they see adults learning too.
Our activities are designed for kids ages 5 through 14, with age-tagged lessons so you know which ones fit your child. Most activities work beautifully with siblings of mixed ages.
Most activities take 30 to 60 minutes. You can do one per week, one per month, or whenever it fits. Even occasional sessions build real skills over time.
Any major conversational AI tool works: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Copilot. Most families use the free tiers. We don't require a specific one, and we'll tell you which one works best for each activity.
Absolutely. Most activities work great with siblings. Younger kids handle the creative parts while older kids handle the prompting and refinement. It becomes a team activity.
Yes. Big Thinkers works on any device with a web browser — Chromebook, iPad, laptop, or desktop. No app install required.
New activities drop every month. Each one teaches a specific AI skill through a project your kid actually wants to do. We also keep older activities updated as AI tools change.
