The AI Explorers Level 1 has been rated 1 stars

Barefoot AI Explorers Level 1 supports children aged 5 to 7 in developing an age-appropriate understanding of what artificial intelligence (AI) is and how it works. Through four progressive lessons providing practical classroom activities, discussions, and cross-curricular links, children begin to explore how computers learn from data and how AI is used in the world around them.
