Build a Chatbot
Code a chatbot with a personality and your own replies.
Make a Chatbot in Python (One-Time Class)
A single class for ages 10 to 14. Children code a simple rule-based chatbot in Python that answers questions, tells jokes and remembers their name.
Class Experience
The teacher explains how early chatbots worked by matching keywords. Children type along to build one, then give it a personality and add their own replies. The class finishes with a short talk about how this differs from modern AI chatbots.
How classes work
This is a single 55-minute live class with up to 5 learners. The teacher demonstrates, learners take part, and everyone shares at the end.
