Playable sample quest
Try a dilemma. Make the call.
There's no single “win” button in Code Quest. Learners weigh each choice against five protocols and see how their decision ripples outward.
This is an interactive fictional preview. No learner data is collected.
The full adventure lives in the separate student portal.
KiKi's Pixel Problem
KiKi used an AI tool to turn a classmate's photo into a hilarious cartoon. It looks amazing. What should she do next?

What children learn
Five protocols behind every good choice
Fairness
Does this choice treat every person equally? Systems can carry bias. We notice it and correct it.
Privacy
Personal information belongs to its owner. We protect passwords, locations and details, ours and others'.
Truth
AI can produce convincing falsehoods. We verify sources before we believe or share.
Kindness
Behind every screen is a person. We choose words and actions that help, not harm.
Consent
We ask before we use someone's image, words or data, and we respect a 'no'.
