Teach kids how algorithms shape what they see online, and what they don't. Activities explore recommendation systems, filter bubbles, engagement tricks, and how to take back control of their feed. Critical thinking for the attention economy.
Ages 9–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Your child audits their own feed and works out why it shows them exactly what it shows them. They map how the recommendations are built, find the specific tricks used to hold their attention, then track what all of it does to their mood and their time. Hard to unsee once they have seen it.
Your kid will spend the rest of their life around AI. Whether they treat it like magic, an oracle, or a tool they direct is up to what you teach them now. This is the literacy that defines the next twenty years.
