Is this a live class?

No. The entire course is self-paced. Your child works through short guided lessons, completes auto-checked quizzes, and builds projects on your family's schedule. Progress emails and a parent dashboard keep you in the loop — there are no scheduled sessions to attend.

Doesn't teaching kids to use AI just teach them to cheat?

This course teaches the opposite. The central habit is the AI-use log: for every project, your child documents what the AI did and what they did themselves, then verifies every claim against real sources. That's the opposite of cheating — it's showing your work.

Which AI tools does the course use?

The exercises work with the major free chatbots, and the course shows current options rather than locking to one product. Free tiers are enough for everything. Most tools require the student to be 13 or older, or to use the tool under a parent's account — the first lesson walks you through setting this up together.

Can I pay with ESA or education funds?

Courses like this are commonly purchased with state education funds. The course ships with a syllabus, learning objectives, and assessment documentation you can file with your program. Your program administrator makes the final eligibility decision.

Will a parent need to sit with their child?

The course is built for independent work at a grade 6-12 reading level. That said, two moments are designed to involve you: setting up chatbot access at the start, and reviewing your child's personal AI-use policy in Unit 4.

What is the refund policy?

Every course and digital purchase carries a 14-day money-back guarantee. If it isn't a fit, email support@pizuki.com within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. Full details at pizuki.com/refunds.

Outcomes

What your child walks away with.

A downloadable completion certificate, plus a portfolio of finished work: a fact-checked research brief, a personal AI-use policy, and a documented capstone project with a full AI-use log — concrete evidence of responsible AI skills your child can show a co-op, a school, or eventually an employer.

Writes clear, specific prompts and can show why one prompt works where another fails
Catches an AI chatbot making things up, and documents the error with the correct source
Produces a fact-checked research brief where every claim is verified outside the AI
Keeps an AI-use log that separates what the AI did from what they did — a habit schools increasingly require
Writes a personal AI-use policy covering privacy, honesty, and when not to use AI at all

What your child will learn

Unit 1: What AI Actually Is

How chatbots really work — prediction, not understanding — and why that means they can sound confident while being wrong.

How a Chatbot Picks Its Next Word
What AI Is Good At (and Bad At)
Hallucinations: When AI Makes Things Up
Project Lesson: The Hallucination Hunt

Builds: The Hallucination Hunt — your child catches an AI stating something false, proves it wrong with a real source, and writes up the error

Unit 2: Prompting with a Purpose

How to ask questions that get useful answers: adding context, breaking problems into steps, and iterating instead of accepting the first response.

Vague In, Vague Out
Giving the AI Context and Constraints
Follow-Up Questions That Sharpen an Answer
Project Lesson: Build a Study Guide

Builds: The Verified Study Guide — an AI-drafted study guide on a topic your child is learning, with every fact checked and corrected by hand

Unit 3: Research and Fact-Checking

Using AI as a starting point for research, never the finish line. Finding primary sources, cross-checking claims, and citing honestly.

AI as a Map, Not a Destination
Tracing a Claim to Its Source
Spotting Bias in AI Answers
Citing Sources and Citing AI Use
Project Lesson: The Research Brief

Builds: The Fact-Checked Research Brief — a one-page brief on a real topic, with a source list showing where each claim was verified

Unit 4: Privacy, Honesty, and Judgment

What never goes into a chatbot, how AI use fits with academic honesty, and how to decide when AI helps versus when it does the thinking your child should be doing.

What a Chatbot Does with What You Type
Personal Information: The Never-Share List
AI and Schoolwork: Where the Line Is
Project Lesson: Your AI-Use Policy

Builds: The Personal AI-Use Policy — a one-page written policy your child drafts and can share with you, covering privacy rules and honest-use rules they commit to

Unit 5: The Documented Capstone

Your child completes a substantial project of their choosing — a research report, a presentation, or a how-to guide — using AI openly and keeping a log of exactly how.

Choosing and Scoping Your Capstone
Keeping an AI-Use Log
Drafting, Verifying, Revising
Project Lesson: Final Submission and Self-Review

Builds: The Capstone — a finished report or presentation plus a complete AI-use log and works-cited page, self-scored against the provided rubric
