Screen-Free AI Literacy for Kids Ages 5–9
AI literacy that starts at the kitchen table, not on a tablet.
The ABCs of AI Activity Deck is a 130-card screen-free kit that introduces kids ages 5 to 9 to the foundations of artificial intelligence. Each of the 26 letters has five cards: a definition, a story, a game, a hands-on activity, and an audio card. It works at home, in the classroom, on long car rides, and anywhere a parent or teacher wants to introduce AI without putting another tablet in front of a child.
AI is already in your kid's world. The question is who guides them through it first.
Most ways to teach kids about AI hand them another screen. ChatGPT. A tablet. A coding app. The ABCs of AI Activity Deck does the opposite. It builds AI literacy through conversation, play, and the same screen-free routines families already use.
AiDigiCards builds curiosity, creativity, confidence, and critical thinking, the exact skills people worry AI could replace.
