Fact Detective

Your child will learn that a convincing AI answer is not proof that something is true. Through an island detective story, they’ll practise checking claims against evidence, correcting mistakes and recognising when a fact is still unknown.

This lesson is being prepared for our family pilot. Paid enrolment opens after the launch review. The four free activities are available now.

Your child will practise useful AI skills.

Your child will learn to check an answer against supplied evidence and correct unsupported claims.

Your child can read or listen to instructions, try each activity and use the feedback to improve. They can pause, return and retry at their own pace.

Instruction and sorting games are simplified simulations. Following a fixed sequence is different from an AI model learning patterns from examples.

Your child will learn through guided play.

Your child will work through three guided activities, then apply the skill to a fresh challenge. Feedback explains their choices and helps them try again.

  1. Check the opening times on the noticeboard.
  2. Recognise when you need more information.
  3. Correct the guide using the noticeboard.
  4. Check a new ferry timetable.

    Your child will try a new challenge to show how they can use what they have practised.

Your child will create something of their own.

My corrected fact file

Your child will create a corrected fact file with a mistaken claim, its replacement and the evidence behind the change. Someone else can use the same evidence to check their work.

You’ll be able to download their written record and see their progress in your family space.
