Not every STEM activity requires a device.
Children can explore some of the ideas behind artificial intelligence using cards, blocks, paper, household objects, movement, and imagination.
Try:
Build an algorithm
Write instructions for making a sandwich or walking across the room.
Become a robot
One child follows another child's instructions exactly.
Sort the data
Sort a collection of objects using different characteristics.
Predict the pattern
Create a sequence and ask what should happen next.
Design a robot
Ask what problem the robot should solve and what information it would need.
Create a recommendation system
Have children recommend books or activities based on what someone says they like.
These activities introduce computational thinking without requiring children to spend additional time online.
Bring AI into screen-free STEM time
The ABCs of AI Activity Deck combines AI vocabulary with stories, games, activities, definitions, and optional audio.
The deck contains 130 cards for kids ages 5–9 and can be used at home, school, libraries, camps, and after-school programs.
