    America's first comprehensive K-4 AI literacy curriculum. KidoTech makes AI education accessible, playful, and culturally relevant through mascot-led learning with Kip, the friendly AI guide. Featuring a 90s retro gamified aesthetic, the program uses a 26-letter alphabet framework (A is for AI, B is for Bot, C is for Code, etc.) to make complex concepts fun and memorable. The curriculum spans 36 lessons across three grade bands with an unplugged-first philosophy—no screens required for initial concept introduction.
