Authorship first
We don't teach AI. We teach authorship. AI is only the lever. Every module, every session and every product decision is measured against this: if something doesn't serve this philosophy, we don't build it.
The six pillars
- Boredom is raw material. It isn't the enemy: it's the fork in the road. Instead of filling it by consuming, we turn it into making.
- Authorship, not consumption. The idea is always the child's. We never hand them a finished project to copy.
- Create to learn, not learn to create. They build something that matters, and the concepts arrive along the way, when they're needed.
- The adult beside them, not in front. No lecture, and no need to know how to code. They look after the curiosity; the AI writes the code.
- It ends in playing or using it. The prize isn't a grade: it's their creation working.
- The AI executes, the child directs. A lever, not an oracle. This is what protects their agency and their critical thinking.
The lineage, in case this looks like a fad
Seymour Papert and constructionism: you learn by building objects that matter to you. Mitchel Resnick and the Creative Learning Spiral at MIT Media Lab. Harvard Creative Computing, which puts creativity ahead of technical detail. And the European AILit framework (OECD-European Commission), which recognises “Create with AI” as an official competence.
