Curious about raising AI-literate kids without more screen time? Our Season Two finale delivers a thoughtful recap of our AI journey while offering creative ways to keep the learning going all summer long.

We've explored the fascinating world of artificial intelligence through conversations with remarkable guests who bring diverse perspectives to children's AI education. Each guest reinforced our core belief: understanding technology doesn't require endless screen time, it requires curiosity and creativity.

This episode includes a treasure trove of screen-free summer activities to reinforce AI concepts through play. Design and build your dream AI helper using art supplies or building blocks. Go on an AI scavenger hunt that mimics how computer vision works. Host a family "prompt game night" where everyone takes turns creating imaginative AI instructions. These activities transform abstract technological concepts into hands-on experiences kids can enjoy away from devices. We've even included a quick quiz to test how much you've learned about AI fundamentals throughout the season!

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for September 2nd when Season Three launches with fresh perspectives and activities.

We're also thrilled to announce our upcoming AiDigiCards, starting with the ABCs of AI Activity Deck for ages 4-8—another way families can explore technology concepts without screens. Get on the waitlist here: https://www.aidigicards.com/

Remember, our mission isn't just about technology education—it's about "letting kids be kids, not robots." We're raising a generation that doesn't just use technology, but truly understands it while preserving the wonder and joy of childhood. Thanks for bringing us into your homes, classrooms, and family routines, we can't wait to continue this journey with you!

Kaashvi Mittal, a rising high school senior, is transforming how we think about AI education. As founder of Together We AI, she's breaking down complex technology into bite-sized, understandable concepts through free workshops that make artificial intelligence accessible to everyone.

The spark for Kaashvi's journey came during a Stanford AI for All summer program where she helped create an AI model analyzing satellite imagery to determine socioeconomic status of different regions.

For parents and educators worried about children becoming overly dependent on AI, Kaashvi offers practical wisdom: establish clear boundaries between helpful uses (generating practice problems) versus harmful applications (writing essays). She emphasizes developing core skills first, using AI as a supportive tool rather than a replacement for critical thinking.

Ever wondered how smart speakers like Alexa know what you're saying? Or how self-driving cars can tell the difference between a stop sign and a person? Our latest episode dives into the fascinating world of voice and vision in artificial intelligence—explaining how AI's digital "ears" and "eyes" work in ways even young children can understand.

We break down voice recognition technology, explaining how AI systems listen to spoken commands and figure out appropriate responses. But with this knowledge comes responsibility, especially for our young listeners. We emphasize crucial safety guidelines: always ask permission before using voice devices, never share personal information, and understand that these tools may be recording what they hear.

Computer vision gets equal attention as we explore how AI "sees" the world by analyzing patterns, colors, and shapes rather than truly seeing as humans do. From sorting photos to helping robots navigate, vision-enabled AI surrounds us daily. Parents will appreciate our straightforward safety rules that empower children without causing fear: no camera access without adult supervision, no sharing images of faces or homes, and always consulting grown-ups when something feels uncomfortable.

The best part? We've included screen-free activities that families can try at home! Our Voice and Vision Challenge features two games that simulate how AI processes information. One person plays the role of an AI responding to voice commands, while another game involves sorting objects by visual characteristics—perfect for reinforcing these concepts through play rather than more screen time.

Curious about what's coming next? Tune in as we continue our alphabetical journey through AI concepts with W in our next episode. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review to help other families discover how to navigate the AI landscape with confidence!
