AI for kids, ages 5–16

Teach AI to kids with comics, games and real labs.

CROODI is a guided AI curriculum for children. Not videos to watch and not a chatbot to type into: kids make choices in comic missions, play quick games, and train tiny AI models by hand.

What kids walk away with

Six big ideas, one chapter each.

The same six chapters for every age, told in words that fit: picture-book simple for 5–7, real technical terms for 12–16.

  • Spot AI

    Tell what is AI and what isn't, and explain the difference between rules and learning.

  • Know how it learns

    Examples, labels and testing. Why an AI trained on the wrong data gets things wrong.

  • Understand chatbots

    How a chatbot guesses the next word, and why it can sound sure while making things up.

  • Ask it well

    Clear, specific prompts, and using AI as a study buddy rather than a homework machine.

  • Stay smart and safe

    Private stays private. Spot fakes, voice scams and feeds that want their attention.

  • Think about the world

    Fairness, jobs, the planet and who is in charge, and a project of their own to finish.

A real curriculum, not random videos

6 chapters. 60 levels. From “what is AI?” to building their own.

How every level works

Three comic missions, then they build it for real.

Each level answers one big question, like “How does AI see a picture?” Every mission ends with a quick game and a Boss quiz worth up to three stars.
