The world is rapidly transforming into one driven by artificial intelligence (AI). Preparing your kids for this future means equipping them to not just use AI tools but understand and train AI models that can complete different tasks. At Gaimes Lab, we are passionate about empowering the next generation with essential AI skills.
Here’s our take on how you can help prepare your kids for an AI-driven future:
Teach Kids to Design and Train AI Models
Understanding AI is the pinnacle of preparation. Teaching kids to design, train, and evaluate AI models gives them the confidence to innovate and demystifies how AI works. This goes beyond using AI tools—it’s about becoming a creator, not just a consumer, of technology.
At Gaimes Lab, we specialise in making this process fun and accessible. Our unique games teach kids how to build and train AI models that control video-game characters. Through these hands-on experiences, kids learn the key principles of training AI models that control robots or autonomous vehicles, such as:
Choosing Inputs: How the AI models' perceive their world.
Choosing Outputs: The different actions the AI models can take.
Choosing Rewards: How you incentivise the AI models to complete a task.

By playing and creating, kids gain real-world AI skills in a playful, engaging way. They don’t just learn how AI works—they understand why it works and how to harness it for future innovations.
Teach Kids to Code
Coding is the foundation of technology. Learning to code develops problem-solving, logical thinking, and creativity. It gives kids the tools to understand how technology works and the confidence to create it themselves. Use beginner-friendly platforms like Scratch or our personal favourite, MakeCode Arcade, which combines fun and interactive learning with the basics of coding.
Coding is not just about writing lines of code—it is about understanding logic, debugging, and iterating. These skills are invaluable in a tech-driven world and lay the groundwork for deeper AI learning.
Conclusion
Preparing kids for an AI-driven future means empowering them to understand and train AI models. While coding is foundational, designing and training AI models unlocks their ability to innovate and lead in an AI-driven world. At Gaimes Lab, we teach kids how to train real AI models, equipping them with the skills to thrive and shape the future of technology.
