Built in Ghana · in your language
Your child can build with AI.
A friendly AI tutor that speaks Twi, Ewe, Ga & English, and helps them build real things, safely, with a real teacher beside them.
- Ages 7–17
- Safe & ad-free
- Works offline
By the time your child grows up, AI will shape every job, every classroom, every business. The question is whether she builds it, or it builds around her.
AI fluency compounds. The children who start now will be years ahead. Yours can be one of them.
How it works
Up and running in three steps.
Start a free lesson
Tap “Try a free lesson”, hand the device to your child, and watch them meet Ananse.
They learn with Ananse
Their friendly AI tutor teaches in Twi, Ewe, Ga or English, asking questions so they truly understand.
They build and earn
Your child builds real AI projects, collects badges, and earns a 40 KIDS certificate they're proud of.
What your child actually does
Not screens to watch. Things to build.
Talks to Ananse, their AI tutor
In Twi, Ewe, Ga, or English. Ananse asks questions and guides, so your child learns to think, not just to copy.
Builds real things with AI
A working chatbot in their own language. A story. A solution to a problem in their community. They leave every session with something they made.
Earns badges and a certificate
Streaks, points, and a recognized 40 KIDS AI certificate keep them coming back, and give them proof of what they can do.

Questions parents ask
Good questions. Honest answers.
Is it safe for my child?
Yes. Ananse lives in a walled garden, no open internet, with age-appropriate guardrails on every reply and a trained facilitator supervising in the room. We never ask children for personal information.
What ages is it for?
Children aged 7 to 17. The lessons and the tutor adapt to your child's age band, from first steps to building real AI projects.
Do we need a fast phone or internet?
No. 40 KIDS is built offline-first for low-cost, shared devices. It works on a basic phone and a weak connection, and parents can even get updates by SMS.
Is it really free? What's the catch?
Learning at a 40 KIDS community hub is free for families. It's funded by grants and partners, and paying schools and sponsors cross-subsidise free access. No catch, no ads, and we never sell your data.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is built for adults, in English, and simply hands over answers. 40 KIDS teaches in your child's language, asks questions so they learn to think, keeps them safe, and helps them build real things, with a teacher beside them.
What languages are supported?
Twi, Ewe, Ga and English at launch, with more African languages coming. Your child learns in the language they think in.
