Session: The World's First Character-Based AI Literacy Curriculum for Kids K–12
Most kids today use AI every single day — but nobody's teaching them how it actually works. AI Made Fun is changing that with the world's first character-based AI literacy curriculum for K–12 — where kids don't just learn about artificial intelligence, they learn with characters they love, through stories, missions, and hands-on challenges built for their grade level.In this lightning talk, Devshree Golecha — founder, data scientist, mom, and co-author of the award-winning Data Made Fun for Kids — will demo the platform, share the origin story, and show why character-driven learning is the missing piece in AI education. AI Made Fun features 15 modules and 195 interactive activities per grade band, standards-aligned across four grade bands (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12) — giving every school, homeschool family, and educator a complete, ready-to-teach AI literacy program.
This is edtech built different — and it's just getting started.
