Teaching Kids to Create With AI,
Not Just Consume It
Promptlings exists to close the AI literacy gap. We believe every child deserves to understand and direct the technology that will shape their future — not just passively use it.
Our Belief
AI is the most transformative technology since the internet. Within a decade, every career will be shaped by it. Yet most kids today are consuming AI passively — watching algorithm-curated feeds, typing simple prompts, accepting whatever comes back.
That's not literacy. That's dependency.
Promptlings teaches kids to think critically about AI, craft purposeful prompts, build real projects, and understand the ethics behind the technology. We're raising the first generation of AI-literate creators.

Matt is a data and AI professional with over a decade of experience building AI systems for enterprise companies. But more importantly, he's a dad.
When he watched his own kids interact with AI — passively, uncritically, without any framework for understanding what they were using — he knew something had to change.
Promptlings was born from a simple question: "What if we taught kids to be AI creators instead of just AI consumers?"
Matt designed Promptlings to be the program he wished existed for his own kids: hands-on, safety-first, taught by practitioners who actually build with AI — not just teach about it.
The Story
The Spark
Watching kids use ChatGPT like a magic 8-ball — asking it questions and accepting every answer without thinking. They deserved better.
The Research
Months of studying how kids learn, what age-appropriate AI education looks like, and why existing programs weren't cutting it.
The Launch
Promptlings is launching Spring 2026 with three paths designed for ages 8–18. Small groups, live instruction, real projects. The future of AI education starts here.
