Generative
AI, Simplified
Program
From AI art tools to how ChatGPT predicts the next word — this program demystifies generative AI for every student, Class 6 to 12. One 6-week journey, taught in two tiers: intuitive analogies and guided tools for younger students, real prompt engineering and neural network tools for the rest.
Why Generative AI Matters for Your Child
Every student already sees generative AI daily — in art tools, chatbots, and filters. Help them understand it, not just use it.
The See · Imagine · Prompt Framework
Three progressive stages that take students from "how does AI see?" to writing real prompts and reflecting on AI ethics — across 6 weeks
Program Overview
Everything your child gets across the 6-week Generative AI Program
Generative vs Traditional AI
Understand exactly what makes generative AI different from rule-based, traditional AI.
Image Recognition with CNNs
Explore how computers "see" images and build a real image-recognition model, no-code.
Autoencoders & GANs, Explained
Understand how AI compresses and generates new data using simple, guided analogies.
Real Prompt Engineering
Build a 5-image prompt portfolio and learn what makes an AI art prompt actually work.
How LLMs Generate Text
Understand, at a basic level, how ChatGPT-like models predict the next word.
Responsible AI & Certificate
Learn to spot bias and hallucination, then present a capstone at the National Symposium.
6-Week Program Plan
Click a week, then toggle the tier to see exactly how Foundation and Advanced students experience it differently
Understanding How AI "Creates" vs How It "Recognises"
Explore teacher-curated examples of AI-generated art and chat responses, and discuss "creating vs recognising" through everyday examples.
What Makes This Program Different
Most "AI for kids" workshops pick one age group. This program teaches one real curriculum at two genuine depths — together.
One Curriculum, Two Ways — Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every week, Class 6–8 students explore the same topic through analogies, physical activities, and guided, no-code tools — while Class 9–12 students go independent, coding classifiers, running notebooks, and building real prompt portfolios.
Both tiers build toward the same capstone and the same National Symposium — just at a depth that's genuinely right for their stage.
The same tool, two depths:
Teachable Machine
Foundation explores it as a guided class demo; Advanced builds and tests a real classifier.
AI Art & Prompting Tools
Foundation tries 3–4 supervised prompts; Advanced builds a full 5-prompt portfolio.
National Symposium
Foundation presents an illustrated poster; Advanced pitches a working capstone project.
What Students Will Build
Real deliverables built week by week, adapted to each tier, leading into an open capstone
Generative AI Capstone + Ethics Reflection
Build a chatbot or story generator (or a guided version for Foundation) and write an AI-ethics reflection — the flagship Week 6 project.
AI Exploration Journal
Explore AI-art tools and document what "generative" really means, in your own words.
Handwritten Digit Classifier
Classify handwritten digits using Teachable Machine — your first taste of image recognition.
Image Classifier Demo
Use an online CNN visualiser and build a simple image classifier of your own.
Autoencoder Exploration Notebook
Run a guided notebook that compresses and rebuilds digit images, and play with latent space.
GAN Concept Poster
Explain, with an artist-vs-critic analogy, how GANs generate realistic new content.
Prompt Engineering Portfolio
Five images, five prompts — a real portfolio comparing different prompt styles and results.
Chatbot / Story Generator
Build a simple chatbot or story generator using a beginner-friendly AI tool.
The Creative AI Toolkit Students Use
Real, industry-relevant AI tools — supervised and age-appropriate for every tier.
# AI-art tools used with adult supervision for younger students — no prior coding required
Week 6 National Symposium
Every student — at every tier — presents and defends a project before a mentor panel
🏆 Capstone Milestones
Generative AI Capstone Project
A chatbot, story generator, or AI-art project — tiered to each student's level
AI Ethics Reflection
A written reflection on bias, hallucination, plagiarism, and privacy
Symposium Presentation
An illustrated poster (Foundation) or a full pitch and demo (Advanced)
A Celebration of Young AI Creators — at Every Level
In Week 6, every student — from Class 6 to Class 12 — presents something they built themselves, whether it's an illustrated poster explaining a GAN or a working chatbot with a full ethics reflection.
Every student walks away with real presentation experience, a completed project, and a certificate they genuinely earned.
Official Certification
A certificate that recognises real, demonstrated understanding — scaled fairly to each tier
Certificate of Completion
Every student who completes all 6 weeks receives an official Generative AI Program Certificate from The Wonder Minds — recognising achievement appropriate to their Foundation or Advanced tier.
