Aika
Raise a child who commands AI — not one commanded by it.
An AI academy for children aged 8 to 15. Eleven modules and over a hundred lessons, taught by talking with an AI tutor rather than reading a textbook — from how a model actually learns, through to ethics, careers and what a brain does differently.

The problem
Why this product exists.
Children are already fluent at using AI. Almost none of them understand what it is doing, or when it is wrong.
That gap decides who gets the work and the opportunities in ten years, and it is widening now.
Courses built as videos and quizzes teach children to pass the quiz.
What it does
Learn by talking, not by reading
A real AI tutor holds the conversation, follows what the child is curious about, and remembers every lesson and question from last time.
We never lie to children
Everything is honest and age-appropriate, including the part most products skip — showing where AI gets things wrong, and why.
Parents see everything, always
Full visibility into every conversation for the parent. The child still owns the journey; the parent is never locked out of it.
Eleven modules, one path
From what AI is, to training a first model, to large language models and agents, decentralised AI, quantum computing, neuroscience, ethics, creative work and careers.
Progress a child can see
Lessons earn Neurons. Understanding levels up, and the child can watch it happen.
In their own language
English, Vietnamese, Irish, Spanish, French and Chinese — so a child learns this in the language they think in.
It was built by a father for his own children, and the honesty rule comes from that. A product that will not admit AI is wrong cannot teach a child to question it.
