At ReadyAI, we’ve spent years bringing artificial intelligence education to young minds across the globe. But in all our work with kids, we’ve realized something important — parents are just as much a part of this journey as their children. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our latest resource, Intro to AI for Parents: A Pocketbook, a fun and practical guide designed to help parents confidently engage their kids in conversations about AI.

AI is no longer just a futuristic concept; it’s shaping our world every day. From voice assistants and self-driving cars to AI-powered tutors and creative tools, artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of how we live, work, and learn. However, many parents feel unsure about how to talk to their kids about AI, its impact, and how they can use it responsibly. That’s where our pocketbook comes in!
