New Children’s Book

What If the App Isn’t Really Your Friend?

A thought-provoking illustrated book that helps middle schoolers think differently about the apps, algorithms, and AI shaping their digital world.

  • AI Literacy isn't optional anymore. It's a life skill.

  • Help students questions what they see, share, and click online.
