The AI Teading Teens home screen: a large title, a note reading 23 chapters and 34 labs, and the part-one chapter cards below.

An AI book and lab site for upper primary and middle school. Six parts and twenty-three chapters trace, in order, how artificial intelligence sees, hears, learns and creates. Each chapter carries a lab that puts its idea under your own hands.

The design started from why the previous book was half-stale in two and a half years — it leaned on outside sites, every app looked different, and the contents were a list of technologies. This time all three are blocked structurally.

Built to last

  • The labs make no network requests

    Everything runs inside the browser. Switch the internet off and it still works, and a page you have opened once is kept for next time.

  • There is one source

    The web version and the EPUB book come out of the same manuscript, so the two cannot drift apart when only one is edited.

  • The labs use no framework

    This is the part that has to survive longest. Fashions pass; a browser is all it will ever need.

How it was built

  • The same idea gets the same drawing

    Diagrams are assembled from parts. The dial you saw in 1.2 turns up again unchanged in 3.2 — the visual equivalent of a glossary locking a metaphor down.

  • No lettering inside the pictures

    Text in the diagrams is text, not image. Change the language and the words inside the drawings change with it.

  • It can be read as a book

    The same content downloads as an EPUB to read in any e-reader app. All four languages are there.

  • The last part is about judgement

    It does not end at what AI can do. It closes with what AI cannot do, the AI that knows you, and writing down your own rules for using it.

What a chapter looks like

Reading and lab run on within one page, and each lab comes with a one-line note on what to do.

  • Chapter 1.1, “By the rules vs learning for itself”, with a tag leading into its lab.
  • Chapter 5.1, “From smudge to picture” — a lab where a slider shows how a picture-making AI actually draws.

Who it is for

  • Students already using AI who wonder what is going on inside it
  • Teachers looking for material for middle-school computing or project weeks
  • Guardians who want to talk about AI with their child but do not know where to start
