AI Ready Kids & Families

Real or AI-Generated?

Can you tell if something was made by AI? Families will look for clues in images, audio, and other media while practicing critical thinking and fact-checking skills.

AI can create increasingly realistic images, audio, and other media. In this interactive session, children and caregivers will practice looking for clues that may indicate something was generated or altered by AI. Participants will learn the importance of slowing down, asking questions, and checking information rather than immediately believing everything they see or hear. Families will also discuss when to ask a trusted adult for help.

What is the AI Ready Kids & Families program series?

This five-part series helps children ages 6–11 and their parents or caregivers explore AI in fun, approachable, and age-appropriate ways. Families will learn how AI works at a basic level, recognize where it appears in everyday life, practice using AI safely, identify AI-generated content, and develop responsible AI habits for home. Each session includes interactive activities and opportunities for family discussion. Sessions are designed to stand alone, so families can attend individual programs or participate in the full series. There are also AI Ready program series for Teens (12-18) and Adults. 

Registration is required. Families registering multiple children should register each participant separately.
