SMALL STEPS. USEFUL DISCOVERIES.

Use a simple method: the claim, the evidence, the source, and a reasoned verdict.

WHAT THEY WORK TOWARD
A checking habit you can practise together.

01What The Machine Gets WrongExamine generated images and learn why visual clues alone are not enough.
The famous finger-count trick is already dead. Learn where to look instead.
They finish with: Three tells found by yourself, and a habit that outlives all of them
02The Voice On The PhoneExplore copied voices and agree on a family check with a trusted adult.
Fakes that move, voices that were copied, and the one-minute fix that beats both.
They finish with: A family password, agreed out loud with a grown-up
03It's Real And It's Still A LieCompare headlines and captions that change the meaning of a true fact.
Nothing is faked and it still lies to you. The most useful lesson of the four.
They finish with: Three headlines about one true fact, sorted into honest and not
04Claim, Evidence, Source, VerdictUse evidence and sources to judge five cases and explain each verdict.
The method real fact-checkers use, and permission to answer "I don't know yet".
They finish with: Five cases judged, with a reason for each

IS THIS THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE?
Made for ages 8–13.
For children beginning to explore information online, and families who want a calm way to talk about what can and cannot be trusted.
Start together, follow their curiosity, and give them time to try things out.
TOOLS, SAFETY & PRIVACY
Designed for kids. Clear information for parents.
- One family account, set up by you.
You pay, then choose a password. Your child signs in with a first name and, if you want, an age range you pick from a short list. Never a surname, date of birth, school, address or photograph.
- You can see everything they make.
Their answers, notes and activities are in their portfolio, open to you whenever you are signed in. Ask us and we will show you everything we hold, delete all of it, or stop collecting more.
- Nothing is used to train anything.
What they type and make is kept so a person can review it for safety. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or training any model. No advertising cookies and no third-party trackers run anywhere your child goes.
- Kept while you are with us, then gone.
Creations and portfolio stay while your account is open and for 30 days after you close it. Safety logs are kept for 12 months. If we ever change what we collect, we email you first.
The full detail, in plain words: our privacy policy.
A FEW THINGS PARENTS ASK
Good questions. Clear answers.
How is this different from Spot the Fake?
This course introduces picture clues, copied voices, misleading captions, and a general fact-checking method. Spot the Fake focuses more closely on checking images, voices, and video, including tracing a clip and explaining how sure you are.
Does my child need any experience with AI?
No. Each lesson explains the idea with examples before the activity, and nothing asks them to operate an AI tool — the course is about understanding, not driving one.
What exactly does Lesson 1 include?
A complete lesson — the video with Pip, its activity, and three tells found by yourself, and a habit that outlives all of them. It is the first of 4, and the rest of the course builds on it.
Is the $1 lesson a subscription?
No. It is one payment of $1 for Lesson 1, yours to keep and replay. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. Only the membership renews, monthly, and only if you choose it.
Do we need other AI tools or paid accounts?
No. This course’s videos and interactive activities are inside CreatorKids. You do not need to buy an AI tool or open an outside AI account.
Can we use it on an iPad or tablet?
Yes. It runs in the web browser with nothing to install, on a laptop, Chromebook or tablet; a larger screen gives the activities more room.
Does a parent need to sit with them?
You handle the purchase and the two-minute set-up. After that the lessons are written for a child to follow on their own, at the pace of the video, with a trusted adult nearby for questions. Some activities invite a family conversation, and the end of the course is something they will want to show you.
What happens if we buy the full course later?
Your $1 buys Lesson 1 to keep and replay. Nothing renews automatically. If you choose the full course later, that payment is credited and the upgrade is $8.99.
Which purchase is right for our family?
Start with one lesson for $1, buy this whole course for $9.99, or choose library access for $19.99/month. The first two are one-time purchases. Membership renews monthly until you cancel.
Is there an annual membership?
Yes. The yearly option is $149/year for the same library access. You can compare it with the monthly option on the membership page. Membership access continues through your paid period if you cancel; separately purchased courses remain yours to revisit.
Does my child need to finish on a schedule?
No. Lessons are self-paced. Pause for an activity, replay an explanation, and come back when it suits your family. A course you buy outright is yours to keep; membership access lasts while subscribed.
