Hey, hey! You made it to the end of our special ABCs of AI series.

In this final episode of the ABCs of AI, we land on the letter Z for Zero-Shot Learning, a fancy AI term that we break down so it makes sense for kids and their grown ups. We talk about how AI can make smart guesses about things it has never “seen” before, why that can be powerful, and why it can also be risky if the data behind it is biased or unfair.

Kids will hear a clear reminder that they are the real thinkers in the room and that AI still needs humans in the loop to check, correct, and question what it says.

You’ll also learn a screen free game you can try at home, in class, or after-school:

Guess That Thing – a no-tech describing and guessing game that helps kids experience zero shot learning using only clues, imagination, and everyday objects.
A fun bonus round with made up creatures like “rainbow sloths” and “flying pancake robots” to stretch those creative muscles.

If your family has enjoyed learning the ABCs of AI with us, you do not have to stop here.
