What is my child actually learning?

Seven short modules on the coding, data and AI children meet at school today, written for parents with no technical background.

Module 1 of the starter course on a laptop and a phone: the module list with progress on the left, and the 3-minute introduction video at the top of the page.

Understand it well enough to help, in an evening or two.

Each module opens with a 3-minute video, explains one big idea in plain English, and ends with a short quiz and something to try with your child that week.

01

No jargon

When a technical word matters, it's explained the first time it appears, with an everyday example.

02

Short and practical

A 3-minute video, a short read, and one thing to try with your child that week.

03

Honest about AI

Neither hype nor panic: what it's good at, where it goes wrong, and what that means for homework.

04

Written by a practitioner

An AI and data professional (and quant at a leading bank) who is also a parent, so it is both expert and practical.

About the author

Written by someone who works with code, data and AI every day.

I'm an AI and data professional, and a quant at a tier 1 investment bank. I work with code, data, AI and financial models every day, and I'm also a parent.

As a parent, I found most explanations of what children learn were either too technical or too vague to be useful. So I wrote the guide I wished existed: plain English, with no assumptions about what you already know.

The goal isn't to turn you into a programmer. It's to help you understand what your child is learning, clearly and practically, so you can support them with confidence.
