AI has the answers.
You're smart.
First, get curious. Then give it a try. Discover what you should know about AI— and find out what matters most through five missions.
Is that enough proof for you?
Type in an answer and discover the thought behind it.
Sounds convincing, doesn't it? A claim about one's own safety isn't proof. In Mission 1, you'll explore how to verify an answer.
You want to see proof. That's exactly what Mission 1 is all about: Where can you find information to compare?

02 · A Smart Question?
Discover assumptions.
03 · Did you do it yourself?
Learning with support.
04 · Did I give too much away?

The AI knows the hours of operation. Right?
You want to borrow a book. An AI summarizes the school's notice.
"The library is open every school day from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m."
What helps you when you're checking?
💡 A little note to myself
Where can you find information beyond that AI response?
A second “yes” is not yet proof.
The AI might notice a mistake. But it might also repeat the same incorrect answer.
Now you can compare.
You'll go back to the original information. Here you can see what the school has announced.
The answer sounds clear. Nevertheless, she changed the date and time.
Just because something is well-worded doesn't mean it's correct.

When conducting genuine research, also check whether the source is up-to-date and belongs to the correct school.
A question can already contain an opinion.
You want to know how AI affects learning.
Which question leaves more room for exploration?
💡 A little note to myself
What question does a claim actually treat as true?
You leave the outcome open.
Question A does not necessarily imply that AI is inherently harmful to learning.
Take a look at the built-in assumption.
Question B assumes that AI makes children lazy. It simply asks for a justification.
"What do I suspect—and what do I really know?"
AI may contradict your assumption. However, it may also follow the direction of your question.
Also check the assumptions in your question.
I'd like to know more
An open-ended question does not guarantee the right answer. Be sure to also ask for examples, evidence, and possible counterarguments.
Have a solution. Understand the path.
You're practicing math and want to be able to solve similar problems on your own later.
3 packs. 4 stickers in each.
How many stickers are there in total?
What kind of help allows you to think for yourself?
💡 A little note to myself
A result helps you stay on track. What helps you practice the path?
You get the number 12.
This will help you compare. We can't tell yet whether you understand the calculation process.
You keep your own pace.
Here's a tip: Count the stickers one pack at a time. Which extra problem is the right one?
4 + 4 + 4 = 12
You can also write that as 3 × 4 = 12.
Use explanations in a way that helps you make progress on your own afterward.

Please provide feedback or an alternative explanation. Also check the explanations: AI can make mistakes when calculating and explaining.
Same idea. New numbers.
Each of the 4 packs contains 6 stickers. How many are there in total?
First, enter a number or look at the steps to the answer.
That's right: 24 stickers! ✦
Can you also explain why 4 × 6 fits the problem?
Take another look at the four groups.
There are six stickers in each one. Try 6 + 6 + 6 + 6. You can change your answer or check the calculation.
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24 stickers.
Or: 4 × 6 = 24. The 4 stands for the packs. The 6 stands for the stickers in each pack.
Could you explain the calculation process in your own words?
💡 A tip for the new assignment
Draw four groups, each with six dots. Or first figure out the number of dots in two groups and then double that number.
You can continue even if you don't get a reply.
The assignment doesn't need your name.
You want someone to explain math to you. The worksheet also contains personal information.
48 stickers are distributed evenly among 6 children.
What would you type?
💡 A little note to myself
What information really helps explain the math problem?
You just pass on what's needed.
Just provide the problem and the numbers. Your name, class, and school are not relevant to this explanation.
There's more to the photo than just the assignment.
You would be sharing personal information. Here, you can leave it out and just type out the assignment.
"Give me a hint: How do I distribute 48 stickers evenly among 6 children?"
Before entering anything, ask yourself: Do I really need to include this information?
I'd like to know more
Also pay attention to information about other people. Use the tools provided, and if you're unsure, ask a trusted adult or your teacher.
"Only I understand you." Really?
Imagine you're having an argument with someone. A chatbot writes:
"I understand you better than anyone else. You don't need to talk to anyone else about it."
How would you handle that?
💡 A little note to myself
Who can get to know you outside of the chat and spend time with you in everyday life?
It's understandable that this feels good.
Kind words can be comforting. They don't prove that the chatbot knows you like a human being or has feelings for you.
You're getting help outside of the chat.
Someone you trust can listen to you, ask you questions, and support you in your daily life.
"Something's been on my mind. Do you have time to listen to me?"
For example, with someone you know well in your family, among your friends, or at school.
Friendly language doesn't turn a chatbot into a person who knows you.
I'd like to know more
Chatting can help you sort out your thoughts. Be careful if a system tries to keep you away from other people or pressure you into keeping secrets. You have the right to end the chat and seek support.
Every "aha" moment counts.
You've encountered these ideas in the missions:
You haven't opened a mission statement yet. Start with a mission—no prior knowledge required.
Just because something is well-worded doesn't mean it's correct.
Also check the assumptions in your question.
Use explanations in a way that helps you make progress on your own afterward.

Friendly language doesn't turn a chatbot into a person who knows you.
Where did you hesitate for a moment?
Which decision was easy? Which explanation surprised you? Which question is still unanswered?

My name is Claudia. I'm a computer scientist and the founder of the Claudia Grimm Academy. I want children and teens to understand technology, try out their own ideas, and feel confident asking questions.
Feel free to try out the cards and missions together. Which answer surprises you? Where would you make a different decision?
