What your child will learn

Choose your child's grade. Every track is live and project-based, so kids learn AI by building things that actually work.

Grades 1-3 - Ages 6-9

The youngest learners meet artificial intelligence through drag-and-drop blocks. They try image recognition, give characters voice commands, translate words and build guided AI activities and animated stories - with no typing or advanced reading required. AI Genius opens up from Grade 3.

✓First AI activities with visual blocks
✓Image recognition your child can try
✓Voice commands and simple translation
✓Animated stories with AI characters
✓Sequencing, events and simple logic
✓Colour, sound and movement projects
✓How smart machines make decisions

Grades 6-8 - Ages 11-14

Students go deeper into how machine learning actually works. They collect data, train and test their own models, build chatbots with voice and text recognition, and create AI-powered apps such as translators and speech-to-text tools. Grades 6-7 follow AI Genius; Grade 8 moves up to AI Expert.

✓Machine learning concepts and training data
✓Image, text and sound classification
✓Chatbots with voice and text recognition
✓AI apps in Thunkable and MIT App Inventor
✓ChatGPT and the basics of prompting
✓Sentiment analysis on real sentences

FAQs about AI for kids

What is AI for kids?+

AI, or artificial intelligence, is all about creating smart machines that can think and learn like humans. For kids, that means exploring how computers recognise images, understand speech and even make decisions. Machine learning, a part of AI, teaches those machines to improve over time by learning from data. In AI for kids classes, children dive into fun projects like building chatbots and games while learning these concepts in a way that's easy to understand.

How can kids and teens learn AI?+

Kids and teens learn AI through courses that combine hands-on projects with interactive lessons. Younger learners start on block-based platforms, creating AI-powered apps with visual programming. As they grow older, they move to text-based coding with Python and other languages. Codingal's AI for kids classes mix guided tutorials, creative projects and real-world applications, so learning AI is both fun and informative.

Are AI classes for kids suitable for beginners?+

Yes. Beginner AI classes are designed for children with no previous coding experience. They start with simple visual activities before gradually introducing more advanced AI and programming concepts.

What do kids learn in AI classes?+

Depending on their grade, kids learn machine learning basics, image and speech recognition, chatbots, sentiment analysis, prompt engineering, computer vision with object, face and gesture detection, and how to build AI apps with Python and LLM APIs.

What is the difference between AI and machine learning?+

Machine learning is a part of artificial intelligence. AI is the broad idea of machines performing tasks that need human intelligence, while machine learning is the technique of teaching those machines to improve by learning from data. Codingal classes cover both.

How long does an AI for kids course take to complete?+

With 2 classes a week, learners complete the 48-lesson AI course in about 6 months, which is what we recommend alongside busy school and extracurricular schedules. Children can take more classes per week to finish in 3 months on a fast track, or fewer classes, which may extend completion to up to a year.

Are there online machine learning classes for kids?+

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence, and Codingal's classes cover both, so kids get a complete AI education. Live online classes let children learn from home while interacting directly with a teacher - they ask questions, train their own models and build projects with real-time guidance.

Which tools do kids use to learn AI?+

Younger learners use block-based platforms such as Scratch, Pictoblox, EduBlocks and Thunkable. Older students move to Python with OpenCV, and work with Google Gemini and Hugging Face for large language models.

Does my child need coding experience before joining an AI class?+

No. Codingal offers AI classes for complete beginners as well as students who already know how to code. The learning path is selected according to your child's grade and skill level.

Is AI and machine learning hard for kids to learn?+

Learning AI and machine learning can be challenging, but it is very manageable with the right approach. The difficulty depends on a child's prior knowledge of programming and mathematics, which is why our courses are designed specifically for kids and beginners. With engaging projects, hands-on activities and kid-friendly platforms, learners build understanding step by step - and have fun doing it.

Are Codingal AI classes live or recorded?+

Codingal offers live online AI classes where students learn directly with teachers, work on activities and receive guidance during the lesson.

What device does my child need for an online AI class?+

A laptop or desktop computer with a stable internet connection, webcam and microphone is recommended for the best AI class experience.

Will my child build projects during AI classes?+

Yes. Project-based learning lets kids apply AI concepts by creating chatbots, AI-powered games, translators, image recognisers and other interactive projects. The course includes 50+ activities and projects.

Does Codingal offer AI and machine learning certificates?+

Yes. On completing the course, learners in Grades 3-12 receive AI Genius and AI Expert certificates that showcase their skills and knowledge in AI and machine learning. The certificates are STEM.org accredited, easy to download and share, and a great addition to your child's learning portfolio for future academic applications.

What can kids do with machine learning?+

With machine learning, kids can build intelligent applications that recognise images and sounds, make predictions from data, and power chatbots that understand and respond. The same technology is used in healthcare for diagnosis, in finance for fraud detection and in entertainment for personalised recommendations - so children learn to build systems that learn from data and improve over time.

What jobs can kids get after learning AI and machine learning?+

AI and machine learning skills open exciting career paths. Learners might start as junior data analysts, AI assistants or software developers, and later pursue roles such as data scientist, machine learning engineer or AI researcher. These skills are in high demand across tech, healthcare, finance and many other industries - and valuable in many future careers, not only those directly related to AI.

Can my child try an AI class before enrolling?+

Yes. Parents can book a free Codingal trial lesson so their child can experience the class, meet a teacher and build an AI activity before choosing a course.
