With AI, educating children has become a bit easier too

Recently, I used @CreaoAI to build an education space, specifically as a learning base for my kid—dedicated to helping my child study.

The issue my eldest encountered in studying pre-primary (for Grade 6) was that he doesn’t read the questions carefully. So I had the AI generate a series of 5–7 calculation problems, requiring that he can take it slow but must get every one correct, and do one page every day.

Also, I put all of the previous incorrect questions he had done (for now, the geometry/shape ones haven’t been included), then generated targeted similar questions for him to practice repeatedly, building “muscle memory” for typical problems. His math scores improved quite a lot by the final exam.

Another aspect is that he’s been very interested in Python lately. I can do it, but I didn’t know how to teach it. So I asked the AI to create a tutorial for me. At the beginning, since the kid had no foundation, I explained some basic syntax. Later, as his learning went deeper, I couldn’t explain a few things clearly anymore, so I had him ask AI throughout. Now he’s learning PyGame, and he can already make a small game. My requirement for him is: if he doesn’t know something, he can ask AI—but he must write the code himself.

The third is that he participated in the 6th Yangtze River Delta Teenagers’ Artificial Intelligence Olympic Challenge— the “WAIC YOUNG AIGC Music Creation” project. He chose a theme to create music, used AI to generate lyrics, and then made the piece with Sponge Music. He won third prize. For a kid who previously didn’t know anything at all, that’s still pretty good.

I don’t know what education will look like after AI, but starting earlier is definitely not a bad idea. Parents can be early guides in this area.
