Course Wrap-Up

By the end of these six weeks, you should have, together:

A shared vocabulary for talking about AI without panic or hype
A signed household AI agreement with a review date
A working fact-checking habit (SIFT) and a privacy-clean set of accounts
A scheduled monthly check-in to keep the conversation alive
Three concrete behaviour changes each that the other family member will notice

The technology will keep changing. The point of this course isn’t to give you a finished answer — it’s to give you the shared muscle of asking the next question together.

Facilitator Notes (for online course delivery)

Pacing: One module per week is ideal. Compressing it into a weekend defeats the point — the time between sessions is when the conversations actually happen.
Async option: Each module works as a self-paced unit. If running this as a cohort course, host an optional 30-minute live group debrief at the end of each week.
Age range: Discussion prompts work from about age 12. For younger kids (8–11), simplify Weeks 2 and 3 and skip the deepfake-search part of Week 2’s activity.
Single-parent or multi-teen households: All activities scale. The “pair” can be parent + teen, two parents, two siblings, or a guardian + child. The key is two perspectives in the room.
Updating: AI tooling changes fast. Re-check linked resources every 6 months and swap in current examples for the activities.
