AI for Kids
Welcome to AI for Kids, a podcast made for kids, with parents and teachers there to support and guide them, without adding more screen time.
This podcast is made for kids ages 4–12 (and curious teens too) and the adults who support them. You’ll hear fun, easy-to-follow conversations with fellow kids and even AI experts. We 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.
