The Art of Asking

Ages 5–8

This course is all about prompting — the single most important skill for using AI well. Through hands-on experiments, kids discover that vague questions get vague answers, and specific questions get useful ones. They learn the 5 W's framework, practice fixing broken prompts, and build the habit of iterating until they get what they need.
