Make a Case

Ages 9–134 lessonsLearn at their pace

Help your child explain their ideas—and hear the other side.

A strong point starts with more than “I really want it.” Your child practises giving a reason, finding evidence, and understanding another point of view before having a real conversation.

GUIDANCE, WITH ROOM TO TRY

A lesson is more than a video.

Watch with Pip

A guided explanation introduces the idea and shows what to try.

Have a go

Explore examples, work through an activity, and explain their thinking.

Make it theirs

Keep their work and talk about what they discovered with you.

WHAT THEY WORK TOWARD

A real conversation they prepared for.

Their own case, the other side’s strongest point, and a written reflection after trying it out. The goal is clearer reasoning and listening, whatever the answer is.

A real case, made out loud, and an honest record of what happened

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE

One clear step at a time.

4 lessons. Open any lesson below to see what they will do.

  1. 01A Reason Is Not A FeelingBuild a point using a claim, a reason, and evidence.

    "I really want it" and "it's not fair" are true and are not arguments. Claim, reason, evidence - and a reason only you care about is a want wearing a hat.

    They finish with: Your own case, in three parts, on something you actually want

  2. 02The Strongest VersionExplain the other side’s strongest point before answering it.

    Build the other side so well that somebody who holds it would say "yes, that is what I think" - and then answer the real objection instead of a cardboard one.

    They finish with: The other side of your argument, written strongly enough that they would agree with it

  3. 03Five Ways To Fake WinningRecognise five argument tactics that do not actually settle the question.

    Going at the person, the exaggerated version, changing the subject, the pretend choice, and saying it louder. All feel like winning; none settle anything.

    They finish with: Five moves named, and one you catch yourself using

  4. 04Make It For RealPrepare a real conversation, try it, and reflect on the result.

    Their side first, then claim, reason and evidence, then an offer that makes saying yes cheap - and a written verdict afterwards, including when it goes badly.

    They finish with: A real case, made to a real person, and an honest record of what happened

IS THIS THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE?

Made for ages 9–13.

For children with lots of ideas and strong opinions. It gives them a structure for expressing themselves and taking someone else’s view seriously.

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.

Is this a course about winning arguments?

The focus is making a fair case and listening well. Children learn to recognise unhelpful argument tactics, answer a real objection, and reflect even when they do not get the outcome they wanted.

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 your own case, in three parts, on something you actually want. 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.
