Frequently asked questions
About Discovering AI
Is it safe for young children?
Yes. With the youngest, we work with the teacher's accounts, on a shared screen and with activities without direct access.
Do you teach them to do their homework with AI?
We teach them to use it to understand and study, and to tell that apart from copying. Honesty is part of the lab.
What are the classes like?
Live, by video call, in groups of up to 12 students. Every class follows the cycle: short demo, guided practice, creation and presentation.
What do they need to get started?
A computer with internet and headphones. If the lab uses specific software, we'll guide you through installing it before the first class.
How does it start?
With the free assessment: we get to know the student, place their level in Math, and recommend the path and labs based on their age and interests.
