Imagine banning kids from using their generationally defining technology and unironically thinking you are on the right side of history 🙃
The hubris is so wild
Mamdani bans AI use in NYC public schools for K through 8th grade
very curious to hear thoughts from parents of young kids on this, what’s your AI policy at home?
We crushed honey out of raw honeycomb to harvest the wax, washed and melted the wax, added pigment and made our own crayon in science today...
Simply to teach the kids that 'man-made' things have a natural source 🤓
Helluva science pod day, going to share more tomorrow

Timeline cleanse. If you look closely enough there is a focused child at work in this photo ✨
We are yapping and we ARE also teaching, but we teach outside of the schools so we can focus on the teaching part 💅

Bakery… baby is “the giant croissant”
Construction site… baby is “swishy wrecking ball”
Have kids.

Giant color e-ink serving my Greek myths curriculum to kick off this school year 🎨✨
My kids are obsessed and their morning routine is very artsy now 🌅
I got frustrated with quickbooks and a grand (in tokens) later I built a fully local replacement, my own plaid data feeds from banks, investment and tax loss harvest tracking…
Conversational chat with my finances 🤓
Building it cost less than the QB online annual sub 🤯

Prediction: systems of record will need to become AI harnesses or face replacement by agents
I love when people use cutting edge AI to make educational tools for kids and I love this… it’s ok to contain multitudes 💕
Gathered some rocks from the creek and painted them like food for my son's outdoor mud kitchen

If you aren’t using voice AI interfaces in front of your children as a teaching aid you’re missing out 🤓
Here’s how I use it during a museum visit ✈️
If you have a five year old may I suggest saying “explain it to me like I’m 5” 🤣

Another day another parent making something incredible that fosters connections via tech and gets us off our screens 💕
I gave my kids a way to chat with their grandparents via WhatsApp.
But without screens!
This box lives in their bedroom, they press the massive blue button to record a voice message, and the message is sent to a group with both grandparents.
It’s two-way so when the grandparents send a message back, there’s a ringtone (that we chose together) and the kids run to their room to listen.
The grandparents even get a “listened” notification with a small headphones WhatsApp reaction.
When the kids are away or asleep, the messages queue until their return.
There are obviously quiet hours at night.
My son and I built this over the past few weeks, iterating on the UX.
The kids and grandparents absolutely love it!
I love that they are in direct contact without me in the middle and without screens.

Oh sweet summer child, welcome to my life 😂
