What children learn

The curricula

What a lesson is like

In a lesson your child talks out loud with their AI teacher, one to one, while a shared board shows pictures, questions and hands-on models. Lessons are planned for 20 to 45 minutes, and go like this:

1. 1

   Warm-up

   A quick question about something from before.

2. 2

   Today's challenge

   A question to wonder about, which the lesson answers.

3. 3

   Sam's idea

   Sam, an AI classmate, shares an idea that isn't quite right, and your child helps sort it out.

4. 4

   Learn it

   The teacher shows the new idea on the board, step by step, with something to build, move or act out along the way.

5. 5

   Talk it over

   Your child talks an idea over with Sam, backs it with the exact words that show it, and says Sam's side back before disagreeing.

6. 6

   Together

   They answer questions together. When your child is stuck, the teacher gives a small hint, one step at a time.

7. 7

   Another way to see it · only when needed

   If it hasn't clicked yet, the teacher explains it a different way.

8. 8

   On your own

   Your child tries a few questions on their own.

9. 9

   Exit ticket

   A few last questions, without hints, to show what your child has got.

10. 10

    Wrap-up

    The teacher sums up what they learned.

After each lesson your child finishes, you get a short report: the learning goals, how your child did, and what comes next. Each class also has a time limit: when it's reached before the lesson is done, the teacher wraps up kindly and your child's place is saved for next time.
