AI for Kids
Welcome to AI for Kids — the podcast for women who want the kids they love to understand the future, without adding more screen time.
If you're a mom, auntie, teacher, or caregiver who's curious about AI but cautious about tech overload, you’re in the right place. We believe kids can explore the world of artificial intelligence in ways that are safe, simple, and joyful—without staring at another screen.
This podcast is made for kids ages 4–12 (and curious teens too!) and the women guiding them. You’ll hear fun, easy-to-follow conversations with fellow kids and AI experts—no tech jargon, just real talk. We’ll break down what AI is, how it shows up in everyday life, and how to talk about it at the dinner table or on the drive to school.
Whether you’re multitasking, carpooling, or winding down for the night, AI for Kids fits your life. It’s screen-free, engaging, and created to spark curiosity—not replace it.
Because kids don’t need more screen time to stay ahead—just better ways to understand the world they’re growing up in.
AI for Kids
A is for Algorithm – ABCs of AI (Elementary)
Welcome to AI for Kids! This episode is appropriate for elementary and up.
Episode 3: ABCs of AI – A is for Algorithm
Join us today as we embark on an exciting journey through the ABCs of Artificial Intelligence! In this first episode, we delve into the letter "A," which stands for "Algorithm." Ready to learn how algorithms are like secret recipes for computers? Let’s get started!
What You’ll Discover:
- What is an Algorithm?
Think of an algorithm like a set of instructions. Just like you might follow steps to build a tower of blocks, algorithms help computers solve problems or perform tasks. - How Does an Algorithm Work?
Learn how algorithms guide computers much like a recipe guides us in cooking, using data as ingredients to create something amazing. - Algorithms Everywhere!
Discover how algorithms play hidden roles in everyday activities—from video games to GPS navigation, making our lives easier and more fun. - Fun Facts about Algorithms:
- Ancient Origins: Algorithms aren't new; they've been around for thousands of years!
- From Simple to Complex: Whether it's sorting toys or predicting the weather, algorithms can be as straightforward or as intricate as needed.
- Educational Tools: Algorithms also power recommendations on websites, helping you find videos and games you'll love.
Interactive Segment – Let’s Play an Algorithm Game!
- Game: Find the Treasure
- Tools Needed: Paper, crayons, and a small toy.
- Activity: Create a map, hide a "treasure," and write step-by-step instructions to find it. This fun game demonstrates how algorithms provide clear directions to achieve a goal.
