    Why AI literacy, why now

    AI is already part of childhood

    From voice assistants at home to the apps on a parent's phone, AI is woven into kids' everyday lives. KidoTech gives K–4 scholars the words and understanding to make sense of it — taught through story and play, not screens alone. When children learn what these tools are and how they work, technology stops being magic and starts being something they can question, shape, and build.

    Meet Kip

    Every lesson has the same friendly guide

    Kip is a curious pixel-art robot who leads scholars through every letter of the alphabet — asking questions, getting things delightfully wrong, and inviting kids to fix them. Kip has been teaching the ABCs of AI to young learners on YouTube and in classrooms, one short episode at a time.

    Our story

    Built from a classroom with no budget

    KidoTech was built by a former Brooklyn public school technology teacher who created her first tech curriculum with no budget and no dedicated classroom. KidoTech is her answer to bringing real AI literacy to the youngest learners — built through RITE, the nonprofit she co-founded in 2016.
