AI for Kids What’s a Prompt—and Why Should Kids Learn to Use One? (Middle School+)
What if teaching your kids about AI felt as simple as asking a smart friend for help at the grocery store?
In this episode of AI for Kids, we dig into one big question every parent is asking: What’s a prompt—and why should kids learn to use one?
Together, we explore:
- Can kids love science but hate math and still thrive in STEM?
- How can you explain prompts to kids so it “clicks” right away?
- What simple, fun prompts can kids try—from making coloring pages to writing stories?
- What does it mean to think “AI-first,” and how can kids apply that mindset in everyday life?
- Why starting small (with just three things you don’t want to do this week) is the easiest way for kids and parents to get comfortable with AI.
Ashley also shares her new 10-day course designed to help future business owners use AI to turn their ideas into action—plus we get into her own journey from science lover to business builder.
👉 Tune in and discover how prompts can become your child’s secret tool for learning, creativity, and problem-solving.
