Welcome to the AI World
Phase 1AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a computer system that can learn and make decisions like humans. It powers your Netflix suggestions, Google Maps, and even Snapchat filters. AI doesn't think — it patterns. It learns from millions of examples to predict the next step.
List 5 AI tools you've used in the last week (e.g. Google, YouTube, Maps, Instagram). Next to each, write: what problem does this AI solve?
Types of AI — Narrow vs. General
Phase 1Narrow AI does one thing brilliantly — like Siri answering a question or AlphaGo playing chess. General AI (AGI) can think across tasks like a human — it doesn't exist yet! Today's ChatGPT is super-smart Narrow AI. Every AI you'll build in this program is Narrow AI.
Draw a simple 2-column table: Narrow AI | Human-like task it can't do. Fill 5 rows. Example: "Spotify AI → Can't feel emotions."
How AI Learns — Data & Patterns
Phase 1AI learns from data — millions of examples. It finds patterns in that data. Just like you learned to read by seeing thousands of words, AI "reads" millions of photos, sentences, or numbers. More data = smarter AI. Garbage in → Garbage out.
Go to Teachable Machine (teachablemachine.withgoogle.com). Train a simple image classifier — use your hand gestures (thumbs up / thumbs down). Test it. Write 3 observations about what happened.
AI Ethics — Bias, Privacy & Responsibility
Phase 1AI can be biased — if trained on unfair data, it gives unfair results. AI also collects your data — your clicks, location, messages. As AI creators, we have a responsibility to build fair, transparent, and private systems.
Write a 1-minute opinion: "Should AI be used to decide school grades?" Argue YES or NO with 2 reasons. Share with your team.
Problem Finding — The Creator Mindset
Phase 1Great AI products start with a real problem. The creator mindset means: "I see a problem → I imagine an AI solution." Look at your school — attendance, homework, lost items, canteen queues. Every friction point is an AI opportunity.
Walk around your school for 10 minutes. Write down 3 real problems you observe. For each, write: "An AI could solve this by ______."
Phase 1 Recap + Idea Pitch (Mini)
🏆 MilestoneRevisit all 5 days. AI is everywhere, it learns from data, has limits, can be biased — and you're about to build with it. Choose your best idea from Day 5's Problem Safari.
Pitch your AI idea in 60 seconds to the class: Problem → Who is affected → How AI helps. Use this format: "[Group X] noticed that [problem]. An AI could [solution] so that [benefit]."
What is a Prompt? The Art of Asking
Phase 2A prompt is the instruction you give an AI. Better prompts = better outputs. The key: be specific, contextual, and role-aware. "Write a story" is weak. "Write a 100-word adventure story for 10-year-olds set in a Rajasthan fort" is powerful.
Open ChatGPT or Gemini. Ask the same question 3 ways — vague, medium, and detailed. Screenshot the 3 answers. Write which was best and why.
Prompt Formula — Role + Task + Format
Phase 2The golden formula: Role ("Act as a science teacher") + Task ("Explain photosynthesis") + Format ("in 5 bullet points for a class 7 student"). This 3-part formula works for 95% of prompts you'll ever write.
Write 5 prompts using the Role+Task+Format formula on topics from your school syllabus. Use AI to generate answers. Rate each output 1–5 stars.
Chain Prompting — Multi-Step AI Workflows
Phase 2Chain prompting means using the output of one AI prompt as the input of the next. Step 1: Generate ideas → Step 2: Pick best → Step 3: Expand it → Step 4: Format it. This is how professionals use AI to build real content workflows.
Use chain prompting to plan a school event in 4 steps: (1) Generate 10 theme ideas → (2) Pick top 3 → (3) Create schedule for best one → (4) Write an announcement post for it.
AI Tools Landscape — Which Tool for What?
Phase 2Different AI tools serve different purposes: ChatGPT/Gemini → text & logic. Canva AI/Adobe Firefly → images. ElevenLabs → voice. Runway → video. Google Colab → code. Smart creators pick the right tool for each job.
Create an "AI Toolkit Map" — a visual chart of 8 AI tools with: Tool name, Category, Best used for, Free/Paid. Use Canva or draw it. This is your personal reference card.
Logical Thinking — Flowcharts & Decision Trees
Phase 2AI decisions flow like a decision tree: IF → THEN → ELSE. A spam filter: IF email contains "free money" AND unknown sender → THEN move to spam. Understanding this logic helps you design smarter AI apps, even without code.
Draw a decision tree flowchart for: "Should a student be allowed extra time in an exam?" with at least 4 decision nodes. Use draw.io or paper.
Phase 2 Recap + Prompt Challenge
🏆 MilestoneYou've mastered prompting, chaining, tool selection and logical thinking. Now it's time to put these together. From here, every skill you learn builds directly into your final project.
Prompt Battle: Each student writes the best prompt to solve their Day 6 idea. Use ChatGPT. Class votes on whose AI output was most useful. Winner earns the "Prompt Champion" badge.
What is a Website? Structure & Purpose
Phase 3A website has 3 layers: HTML (structure — the bones), CSS (style — the clothes), JavaScript (behaviour — the muscles). You don't need to code — AI will do that. Your job is to design thinking: who visits, what they need, what action they should take.
Visit 3 websites (a school, a local shop, a personal portfolio). For each: what's the purpose, who is the audience, what's the main action? Fill in the Website Analysis Sheet.
Wireframing Your Personal Website
Phase 3A wireframe is a rough sketch of your website's layout — like an architect's blueprint before building. Every great website starts as boxes on paper. Sections to plan: Header, About Me, Skills/Interests, Projects, Contact.
Draw your personal website wireframe on paper or in Figma. Must include 5 sections. Then write a 2-sentence description of what each section will say about you.
Build with AI — Generate Your Website Code
Phase 3AI can generate complete website code from your description. Tools: Claude.ai, v0.dev, ChatGPT. Give it your wireframe description + color preferences + content. Paste the generated code into CodePen or Replit to see it live instantly.
Prompt Claude/ChatGPT: "Build a personal website for a class 9 student interested in [your interest]. Include: header, about, skills, contact. Use clean modern design." Paste into CodePen. Take screenshot.
Personalise & Refine Your Website
Phase 3AI gives you a skeleton — you add the soul. Replace placeholder text with your real name, bio, and interests. Change colours to match your personality. Add a real photo. This is the "10% human touch" that makes AI output feel authentic.
Update your website: Add your real name & photo, write your own "About Me" (3 sentences), list 3 real skills/interests, and change the colour theme. Share the live CodePen link with your teacher.
Publish Live — GitHub Pages / Netlify Drop
Phase 3Netlify Drop (netlify.com/drop): drag your HTML file → get a live URL in 30 seconds. Free forever. GitHub Pages: upload to GitHub repository → auto-published at username.github.io. Both are free and professional tools used by real developers.
Publish your website using Netlify Drop. Copy your live URL. Send it to 1 family member and get their feedback. Write down 2 improvements they suggested.
Website Showcase + Peer Review
🏆 MilestoneYou built a real, live website in 6 days — without writing code from scratch. This is Deliverable #1 of 3. Keep this URL — it will be part of your final showcase portfolio.
Each student presents their website (2 min): What's on it, what AI tool they used, and what they'd change next time. Class fills a peer review card: 1 Star ⭐ + 1 Wish 🌟.
What Makes a Good AI App? UX Thinking
Phase 4A great AI app has 3 components: Input (what the user gives), AI Processing (what the AI does with it), Output (what the user gets back). UX means: is it easy, useful, and clear? Before building — design the user journey.
Pick your AI mini app idea (based on Day 5 problem). Fill in the App Design Canvas: Problem → User → Input → AI Processing → Output → Success looks like ___.
No-Code AI Tools — Build Without Coding
Phase 4No-code AI platforms let you build apps by connecting blocks — no programming needed. Key tools: Poe.com (build chatbots), Glide (apps from spreadsheets), Stack AI (AI workflows), Typebot (smart forms). Think: Lego blocks for AI apps.
Sign up on Poe.com. Create a custom AI bot with a system prompt for your app idea. Example: "You are a homework helper for class 8 students. Only answer questions related to NCERT syllabus."
System Prompts — Teaching Your AI to Behave
Phase 4A system prompt is the secret instruction you give your AI before users interact with it. It sets the personality, scope, and rules. Format: You are [role]. Your job is to [task]. Always [rule 1]. Never [rule 2]. Respond in [format]. This is how professional AI apps are built.
Write a detailed system prompt for your AI app (min 5 sentences). Test it with 10 different user questions. Document: which 3 answers were great, which 2 need improvement?
Add Interface — Wrap Your Bot in a Web Page
Phase 4Your bot needs a home. Typebot.io creates beautiful chat UIs with no code. Or use AI to generate an HTML page with an input box + display area, then embed your bot's Poe link. The UI is what users actually interact with — make it clean and friendly.
Create a landing page for your AI mini app using AI (Claude/ChatGPT). Include: App name, What it does, Try it button. Publish on Netlify. This is your Deliverable #2 page.
User Testing — Get Real Feedback
Phase 4User testing means watching real people use your product — you observe, they interact. The 5-second test: Can someone understand what your app does in 5 seconds? Ask 3 peers to use it. Watch without helping. Note where they get confused.
Share your app with 3 classmates. Don't explain it — just give the link. After 5 mins, ask: "What does this do? What confused you? What would you add?" Document their answers.
Refine & Finalise Your AI Mini App
🏆 MilestoneYou built a functional AI mini-app — Deliverable #2 complete. Apply the top 2 feedback improvements from Day 23. Finalise the URL, app name, and description. It's now portfolio-ready.
Submit: (1) App live URL, (2) System prompt you wrote, (3) 1 screenshot of someone using it. Demo to teacher in 3 mins: problem → solution → demo → what's next.
Design Your Problem Prototype — The Big Idea
Phase 5A prototype is a working model — not perfect, but real enough to show and test. It answers: "If my AI solution existed, what would it look like and how would it work?" Your prototype can be a detailed mockup, a working bot, or a working web tool.
Write your Prototype Blueprint: What exactly will you build, what AI tools will power it, who are the 3 people who will demo it at the showcase, and what question will you answer for the audience?
Build Prototype Day 1 — Core Feature
Phase 5MVP = Minimum Viable Prototype. Build the core feature first — the one thing that proves your idea works. Ignore extras for now. A working core > a feature-packed broken app. Speed and focus over perfection.
Build the core feature of your prototype using AI tools. By end of today, it must do the one key thing it's designed to do. Test it yourself with 5 real inputs.
Build Prototype Day 2 — Polish & Present Ready
Phase 5Polish means: fix obvious errors, improve the UI language, add a clear title and description so anyone can understand it in 10 seconds, and ensure it works reliably. Think: "Would a parent understand what this does by just looking at it?"
Polish your prototype: add a clear title, instructions, and description. Run a final 5-person test. Fix any critical issue. Submit final URL to teacher — this is Deliverable #3.
Craft Your Pitch — The 5-Slide Story
Phase 5The perfect pitch has 5 slides: (1) Problem — who suffers and how? (2) Solution — what did you build? (3) Demo — show it live! (4) Impact — who benefits and how much? (5) Team & Next Step. Use visuals, not paragraphs.
Build your 5-slide pitch deck in Canva. Use AI to help write each slide's content. Keep each slide to max 20 words + 1 image. Present to your team and time yourself — target: under 4 minutes.
Rehearsal Day — Pitch Practice & Feedback
Phase 5The best presenters rehearse out loud — not in their head. Recording yourself reveals habits: too fast, too quiet, filler words. The goal: sound confident, not scripted. Know your first and last sentence by heart — everything else flows from there.
Record yourself presenting once (on phone). Watch it back. Note 3 things to improve. Then present again to 2 classmates — get their feedback using the rubric: Clarity, Confidence, Demo Quality (1–5 each).
