When you use someone's work — a person's or the AI's — name whose it is. That's giving credit.

Kavi the owl for AI Literacy
📖

Kavi Names the Makers

Kavi the owl makes a poster about the moon. She uses a photo from a space book, a fact her friend told her, and lets an AI helper draw a little rocket. A classmate hoots, "Did you do everything?" Kavi smiles and points to a small line at the bottom: "Photo from Moon Book · fact from Mia · rocket drawn with AI." "I made the poster," she says, "but I always give credit to whoever's work I used!"

A peek inside

I used a photo my friend Sam took in my project. How do I give credit?
Sam took the photo, so I name him. I add a short line right by the picture.

💬

Questions parents ask

+What does it mean to 'give credit'?

Giving credit means naming whose work you used. If you put a friend's photo in your project, you say 'photo by my friend.' If you use a fact from a book, you name the book. If an AI helper drew part of your picture, you say 'AI helped draw this.' You still get credit for the parts YOU did — you just don't pretend the other parts were yours.

+Why should kids give credit when they use AI's work?

Because the AI really did some of the work, so saying it was all yours would not be true. Giving credit — 'AI helped with this part' — is honest, it's fair to the real maker, and it still lets the child be proud of what they did themselves.

+What age is this 'Give Credit' lesson for?

It is a Stage 3 lesson for roughly ages 8–9 — part of KAVI Academy's AI-literacy track. It uses a story, sorting and decision games with light reading.

+How can a child give credit in a simple way?

Add one short line that names the maker: 'Photo by ___,' 'Fact from the book ___,' 'Idea from my friend ___,' or 'AI helped with ___.' Naming whose work you used is all it takes.

+Is the lesson free?
