How to guide your child through the projects, and what is and is not included.

Safety rule: Use ideas, not secrets. Do not enter real names, school names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, passwords, photos, medical details, financial details, account information, exact locations, or private family details into any AI tool.
In short
You guide, your child creates
You set up and supervise the AI tool and help with copying and saving files. Your child makes the creative choices, tests the project, and improves it. You do not need to know how to code.
Your role
- ✓Choose and supervise one parent-approved AI assistant
- ✓Sit with your child for the first lesson and the first file you save
- ✓Help copy the code, save the .html file, and open it in a browser
- ✓Watch what gets typed into the AI tool, and keep the session calm
Your child's role
- ✓Choose the idea — the character, the goal, the story, or the tool
- ✓Test the project and notice what works and what does not
- ✓Improve it one small change at a time
- ✓Explain what changed and why, in their own words
You do not need to be a coder
The AI assistant writes the code. Your job is to guide, supervise, and help with the practical steps — copying, saving, and opening files. If something does not work, the Troubleshooting page and the lesson prompts are written for non-coders.
Keep sessions calm and short
These are creative projects, not homework. Short, relaxed sessions work best. If your child is getting frustrated, save the file and come back another day — the project will still be there.
If your child gets stuck
Slow down and change one thing at a time. Ask the AI to explain the fix simply and to keep everything in one HTML file. The per-lesson Troubleshooting sections and the Troubleshooting page list the most common issues and simple fixes.
If the AI gives too much code or too many features
Ask for a simpler version. A good prompt is: “Make this smaller and simpler. Keep only one main idea, and put all the code back into one HTML file.” Tiny is the goal — your child can add more later, one change at a time.
If the AI asks for private information
Do not share it. Tell the AI to use made-up, general ideas only, and not to ask for personal information. This is the core rule of the whole course: use ideas, not secrets.
The safety rule
Use ideas, not secrets. Do not enter real names, school names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, passwords, photos, medical details, financial details, account information, exact locations, or private family details into any AI tool.
What is not included
There is no live tutoring, no teacher support, no grading, and no community or comments. This is a self-paced, parent-guided free Starter Pack.
