AI Workshops for Kids
Hands-on, small-group workshops where tamariki learn about AI, train their own, play clever games — and learn to stay safe online. Fun first, always.
🤖 Learn AI🧠 Train an AI🎮 Games🎨 Fun activities🛟 AI Safety
We’ll let you know the moment a workshop lands near you — no spam, just a heads-up.
// The idea
Curious kids, clever tools, kind rules
Three things we believe about tamariki and AI.
💡
Genuinely educational
Behind the fun, kids build real intuition for how AI thinks — and where it's silly.
🛟
Safe by design
We teach online & AI safety from day one, in words a six-year-old gets.

Four things every kid should know 🛟
The stuff we come back to in every workshop.
🔒
Private things stay private
Never tell an AI your full name, address, school or passwords.
🧐
AI can be wrong
It sounds sure of itself — always double-check with a grown-up.
🙋
Ask before you share
Check with a parent before uploading photos or your voice.
💛
Be kind, online too
Talk to AI — and everyone — the way you'd like to be talked to.

Be the first on the wall!
We're just opening the showcase. Made something clever with AI — a drawing, a game, a robot, a reo helper? Send us your clip and you could be the first Kiwi kid featured here.
