Welcome to the WHAT-IF Lab! An AI pre-literacy game. A super celebratory space lab where you become an AI scientist. This AI pre-literacy game is for curious explorers aged 3-7 years old. Tap 8 glowing stations: TRAINING, PROMPT, BIAS, HALLUCINATION, DATASET, PATTERN, SAFETY, and TEAMMATE. Each station asks a What If—What if AI only saw boy scientists? What if AI made up a fake dinosaur? You choose GOOD FUTURE or RISKY FUTURE. Every choice triggers confetti, stars, and a learning moment. Explore all 8 to unlock the trophy!
Learning Objectives
The lerning objectives of this AI pre-literacy game are:
- Understand TRAINING: AI needs many diverse books, not one book
- Understand PROMPT: Clear prompt = good answer, unclear = confused AI
- Understand BIAS: If AI sees only boys as scientists, it thinks only boys can be scientists — unfair!
- Understand HALLUCINATION: AI can confidently make up fake facts (fake dinosaur)
- Understand DATASET: Messy, wrong data = messy, wrong AI
- Understand PATTERN: AI finds hidden patterns (in stars, in pictures)
- Understand SAFETY: AI should not share private secrets – safety rules matter
- Understand TEAMMATE: Best AI is teammate, not replacement – keeps YOU in charge (Agency + Collaboration)
- Critical thinking: Good Future vs Risky Future consequences
- Decision making: Choosing responsible AI futures
- Vocabulary: training, prompt, bias, hallucination, dataset, pattern, safety, teammate
How to Play?
Here are the instructions on how to play the AI pre-literacy game:
- You see 8 glowing LAB stations in a dark space lab: TRAINING, PROMPT, BIAS, HALLUCINATION, DATASET, PATTERN, SAFETY, TEAMMATE
- TAP any station to open experiment – e.g., 🧠 What if AI learned from only one book?
- READ the What If question in purple box
- CHOOSE 2 futures:
- 🟢 GOOD FUTURE: e.g., AI asks “What idea do YOU have first?” and helps you improve
