Get your kids AI-ready.
Your kids are going to use AI, with or without a plan. Without one, they trust answers that sound sure, share things they shouldn't, and let a chatbot do the thinking.
A self-paced AI literacy curriculum your child works through on their own, with RAILE Chat, a chatbot built for kids, and RAILE Learn, a game that practices each lesson. You don't teach the lessons, and you don't need to know anything about AI.
- Grades 6 to 8
- 16 sessions, about 30 minutes each
- Your child works alone, at your family's pace
- $149.99, one time
Your child works alone, at your family's pace.

Your kids are going to use AI, with or without a plan.
AI moved faster than anyone planned for. Without a plan, here is what kids do with it.
They trust answers that sound sure.
A chatbot predicts what an answer looks like but doesn't check it. It can sound sure and still be wrong.
They share things they shouldn't.
A kid will type into a chatbot what they would tell a friend, and nobody has told them where to stop.
They let a chatbot do the thinking.
AI is a tool to help you think, not to think for you. Without a plan, the work gets done and the thinking doesn't.
"As a parent of two young kids myself, I get how overwhelming this feels. You didn't grow up with AI, and now you're the one who's supposed to have the rules figured out for your own kid. You're not behind. There just hasn't been a real playbook yet."
Three steps: set it up, hand it over, check in.
Print and set up, once.
Print the Student Guide, then set up RAILE Chat in four steps. Your child gets a login code.
16 sessions, on their own.
About 30 minutes each: 20 in the Student Guide with RAILE Chat, then 10 in RAILE Learn.
Eight short conversations.
One at the end of each lesson. The Parent Guide tells you what to look at and what to say.
A Quick Check at the start, the midpoint and the end shows what your child learned. You see the results.
Let's answer the obvious questions.
- "Do I have to teach it?" No. The Student Guide is written to your child, with answers at the back. Your part is one short conversation at the end of each lesson, and the Parent Guide tells you what to look at and what to say.
- "Do I need to know anything about AI?" No. You don't teach the lessons, and you don't need to know anything about AI.
- "How much time does it take?" 16 sessions of about 30 minutes each, at your family's pace.
- "What do we need?" A laptop, Chromebook or tablet with a web browser, and a printer or a notebook for your child's answers.
- "What happens to my kid's data?" We never train on your child's chats or sell data, and we are COPPA compliant.
- "Will I see what they're doing?" Yes. Every chat by title, a weekly email, and an alert if a concerning topic comes up.
Here's what's covered.
Nine lessons in 16 sessions. Your child takes them in number order, looping twice through three words.
Curious
Lessons 1, 2, 6How AI works.
Fun with AI
Your prompt shapes the answer. Change one word and you get a different one.
What Comes Next?
A chatbot writes by predicting the most likely next word, one word at a time.
How Machines Learn
A machine learns from examples, and only from examples.
Cautious
Lessons 3, 7, 8Where it goes wrong.
How AI Goes Wrong
A chatbot predicts what an answer looks like but doesn't check it, so we check before we trust.
What Did It Assume?
When you leave a detail out, a chatbot picks it for you.
Check the Claim
An answer is a bundle of claims. Check the ones that matter.
Capable
Lessons 4, 5, 9How to use it well.
Getting What You Want from AI
Better words, better predictions: Ask, Add, Adjust, and still check it.
When to Use AI
AI is a tool: use it to help you think, not to think for you.
My AI Code
A good rule says when, what you will do, and why.
Every session, about 30 minutes.

One big idea
Explained to your child in plain words, with new words defined.
- Do
Try it in RAILE Chat
Your child tries it in the chatbot and writes down what happens.

And checks before trusting anything that matters.

By your family's rules.

Five rules that say when, what and why.
A kid who questions AI,
and a parent who knows what to say.

Family AI rules, decided by you
