The promise
Not "AI exposure." A real thing your kid made.
1stgraid sells parents confidence and gives kids agency. The visible promise is a finished project. The deeper promise is that the child learns how to communicate with AI clearly, creatively, and responsibly.
The hidden skill
All three tracks teach the same foundation: prompt craft. Kids practice context, constraints, examples, revision, critique, and taste. The track simply wraps that skill in something the kid already cares about.
What parents get
A structured six-week program instead of random AI toy time.
Daily 15-25 minute modules with quizzes and visible outputs.
A clear capstone deliverable at the end of the season.
API costs managed behind the scenes with model tiers and daily caps.
What kids ship
Creator: a playable browser game.
Builder: a useful web tool or utility.
Thinker: a children's book package ready for KDP assembly.
