The 40 KIDS curriculum
What your child actually learns.
A structured journey of 10 lessons that takes a child from first contact with AI to building real things with it, taught in their own language, one small step at a time.
Four stages, ten lessons.
Each stage builds on the last: confidence first, then fluency, then building, then judgment.
