AI Explorers: Patterns, Rules & Play (Grades 3-4) (Dec 2025)

About Course

About Course

• Format & duration: 6 sessions × 2 hours | December 2025 | Live, Online

• Positioning: Small cohort, project-based, unplugged-first with teacher-led micro‑demos

• Hook questions: Are you curious how apps “guess” what you want? Could you teach a robot to draw a square—using only rules?

• Course promise: Kids build the mental gears behind AI—patterns, categorization, clear instructions, and debugging—through online‑friendly activities with household items and printable kits. They finish with a mini‑project and a short family showcase.

• Instructor mention: GenWise Mentor Team — experienced computational‑thinking educators

What You’ll Explore

Over 6 sessions, students will:

• Explain AI (kid‑level): a tool that uses patterns in data to make predictions—and name tasks that are AI vs “just rules.”

• Write & debug step‑by‑step instructions (algorithms) for a partner‑“robot,” spotting ambiguity and fixing it.

• Build paper decision paths (proto decision trees) that show why something belongs in a group.

• Use loops and conditionals in map‑maze puzzles to reach a goal efficiently.

• Practice safe & kind tech habits: ask permission, don’t overshare, and check facts.

• Present a tiny rules‑robot game or pattern puzzle in a friendly online showcase.

Why This Program is Different

Online‑optimized & unplugged‑first — Uses household materials (paper, coins, sticky notes) and a printable activity pack; no logins for kids.

Show, don’t hype — Teacher‑led micro‑demos of AI (screen‑share) to connect concepts to real tools while keeping privacy safe.

Strong take‑home artifacts — A personal “My Rulebook,” a one‑page decision path, and a short parent‑shareable demo video.

Kind, safe digital culture — Built‑in routines for consent, credit, and fact‑checking.

Who Is This Course For?

• Grades 3–4 (ages ~8–10)

• No prior coding required; readers/writers of simple sentences do great

• Stretch: add special cases to rules, extend decision paths, or design an “adversarial example” that improves the rules
