5 lessons. Real skills. Zero jargon.

Each lesson is 20–30 minutes, self-paced, and designed so kids actually remember it — not because they memorised answers, but because they reasoned through real examples.

Lesson 01

What Is AI?

How machines learn from examples

Kids discover that AI isn't magic — it's pattern recognition trained on data by people. They run a "train your own AI" activity and see exactly how their choices shape what the AI learns.

Activity: Train the AI Ages 7+ 20 min

Lesson 02

Fair or Unfair?

How bias gets into AI — and what it costs

Using real-world examples kids can understand (who gets a school interview, who gets a library card), students learn to spot when an AI system treats people differently — and why that matters.

Activity: Spot the bias Ages 8+ 25 min

Lesson 03

Who Decides?

The humans behind every AI decision

Kids learn that every AI system was designed, trained, and deployed by humans with choices. They map out the chain of decisions behind a familiar AI (like a recommendation system) and discuss who is responsible.

Activity: Decision chain map Ages 9+ 25 min

Lesson 04

Can You Trust It?

How to question AI outputs

Students practise asking the right questions: Where did this information come from? Could it be wrong? What would it miss? They fact-check three AI-generated answers together.

Activity: AI fact-check Ages 10+ 30 min

Lesson 05

Build It Right

Design a fair rule for a robot

The capstone lesson. Kids design their own simple AI rule system for a school scenario — then test it against edge cases to see if it's truly fair. They present their "AI constitution" to parents.

This is what your child actually does. Label these messages — then see what the AI learned from your choices.

AI TRAINING MODE

Is this message kind or unkind?

You are the teacher. Label each message — the AI learns from every choice you make.

AI will make decisions about your child.
They should understand it first.

School admissions. Loan approvals. Medical diagnoses. Job screenings. AI is already deciding who gets opportunities. A child who understands AI is not a passive recipient — they're a critical thinker.

Common Questions

Questions parents & teachers ask

Is it really free? +

Yes — completely free, forever. The curriculum is published under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0, which means you can use it, adapt it, and share it for any purpose as long as you credit BrightKit. There is no paywall, no subscription, and no account required.

What grade is this for? +

The curriculum is designed for ages 7–14 (roughly Grades 2–8). Each lesson notes a recommended age — Lesson 1 starts at ages 7+, while Lessons 4 and 5 work best for ages 10+. Teachers with mixed grades have used the simpler lessons as whole-class activities and the harder ones in small groups.

Do students need a device or login? +

No login, no app, no account. The interactive Lesson 1 demo runs in any browser on any device including phones and tablets. The remaining lessons are printable and can be run offline. The only thing you need is a browser.

How long does a lesson take? +

Each lesson is 20–30 minutes. The full 5-lesson curriculum takes about 50 minutes total and is designed to fit one class period per lesson across a single week. Lessons are self-contained — you can use one or all five.

Does this align with Ontario or BC curriculum? +

Yes. BrightKit AI Safety maps to the Digital Literacy and Media Literacy components of the Ontario Language and Social Studies curriculum (Grades 3–8) and to BC's Applied Design, Skills and Technologies competencies. A one-page curriculum alignment document is available on request.

Who built this — is it vetted? +

BrightKit AI Safety was built by Deeun Inc., an Ontario-based education technology company serving 10,000+ families through 8 learning apps. The curriculum draws on peer-reviewed AI literacy research including Long & Magerko (2020), Buolamwini & Gebru (2018), and UNESCO's 2022 AI Competency Framework. It is currently being prepared for a formal research study with a Canadian university partner.
