Your teenager already uses artificial intelligence.
Let's teach them to understand it.
Understanding how these tools work, using them demandingly, checking and deciding with awareness: e-newera teaches 12 to 18-year-olds about the artificial intelligence that is already part of their schooling and their digital lives.
The first sessions are being prepared. People on the waiting list are informed first.
Helping them keep a critical mind
An essay written in seconds, an image of something that never happened, a feed of recommendations that decides what they see: from the first years of secondary school, artificial intelligence is part of teenagers' school and digital lives. What they lack is not technical skill. It is a way of reading what they see.
The real question is intellectual effort. Used without method, artificial intelligence does the work in the pupil's place and weakens their reasoning. Used demandingly, it raises the bar: it frees up time to analyse, compare, argue and check.
Our conviction is simple: artificial intelligence should make teenagers smarter, never lazier. That is what our workshops are about, and the test every exercise must pass.
The questions they ask us
- Is using AI for homework cheating?
- Where does the model's knowledge come from?
- Why does it sometimes get things wrong?
- What jobs will they do tomorrow?
- What happens to what they type into an AI?
These are the right questions. Our workshops are built to answer them through practice.
Three pillars, from the first workshop to the last
Our teaching rests on three pillars. They shape every session, whatever the format and whatever the age group.
Pillar 1
Understand
What an artificial intelligence model really is, how it produces an answer, and why it can be wrong with complete confidence. We explain how it works without maths or jargon, through demonstrations run by the participants themselves.
- Data, training, prediction
- Errors and bias, seen first-hand
- What happens to information shared with an AI
Pillar 2
Use
Artificial intelligence as a working tool, not a substitute for thinking. Each participant carries a project from start to finish and sees exactly what the tool contributes, how much method it demands, and what must remain their own work.
- Set out a clear intention and see it through
- Iterate, correct, own the final version
- Tell legitimate help from a shortcut
Pillar 3
Check and take responsibility
The pillar that makes the difference. Checking information, spotting generated content, understanding how one's data is used, recognising one's responsibility for what one posts or shares. This is where using artificial intelligence differs from being used by it.
- Check a source in three steps
- Synthetic content and manipulation
- Personal data, rights, reputation
Three ways in, one common foundation
Whether it is a first two-hour workshop, a full course or a session in a school, the approach and the teaching team stay the same.
To get started
The taster workshop
2 hours · small group
A first, guided introduction. Participants gain an accurate understanding of what an artificial intelligence model is, learn two checking habits, and complete a first piece of work of their own.
- Ideal as a first experience
- Groups organised by age
- No technical knowledge needed
Most complete
The holiday course
4 half-days · during the school holidays
Our core programme. Four sessions that follow the three pillars and end with a personal project presented to the group. This is the format we recommend to build new habits that last.
- A finished project, presented at the end of the course
- Groups for ages 12 to 14 and 15 to 18
- Deliberately small numbers
For schools
Secondary schools
Tailored sessions · in the classroom
We work with pupils and, where the school wishes, with teaching staff and families. Format, length and content are agreed with the school, in line with its own rules on digital use.
- Single session or series
- Optional module for teaching staff
- Optional meeting for families
Prices, dates and venues will be announced when registration opens. People on the waiting list receive them first, with a priority booking window reserved for them.
The holiday course, session by session
Four half-days. The first opens up how models work; the last ends with a project presented by each participant. Content is adapted to the age of the group.
Understanding AI
Where an artificial intelligence answer comes from: data, training, prediction. Two experiments run by the participants reveal, during the session, an error and a bias in the model. They then understand why an answer can be both wrong and highly convincing.
Using without handing over
Text, image, sound. Setting out an intention, iterating, staying in control of the result. The session explores the line between getting help from a tool and handing it your thinking. The question of homework is tackled head-on, with the pupils.
Checking and taking responsibility
Spotting generated content, cross-checking information, understanding what a service does with the data it receives, recognising one's responsibility for what one shares. The cases studied come from their real digital world. Everyone leaves with a three-step method for checking.
Project and presentation
Each participant carries out their own project: a video, a story, a website, a campaign, as they choose. They explain what artificial intelligence produced, what they produced themselves, and what they deliberately chose not to entrust to it. Presentation to the group at the end of the session.
Indicative programme, adjusted to each group. The two-hour taster workshop offers a condensed version of sessions 01 and 03.
What e-newera is not
It is not a coding school
We do not train developers or prompt specialists. We train minds able to understand, use and decide in the age of artificial intelligence. No coding skills are required.
It is not extra screen time
A significant part of every session takes place away from the screen: analysis, debate, argument, presentation. The tool serves the thinking; it never replaces it.
It is not a message of fear
We cultivate neither fear nor blind wonder. Real capabilities, real limits and real risks are set out, so that everyone can form their own judgement.
It is not childcare
The standard is genuinely high. Every participant produces, argues and presents their work. Demanding without being elitist: we start from where each person is.
“Artificial intelligence should augment people, never replace them. Critical judgement, creativity and ethics are becoming the most important skills of all.”
Two founders, one scientific adviser
e-newera was born where our professional paths meet our experience as parents, from one simple observation: artificial intelligence enters children's lives long before anyone teaches them to understand it.
Co-founder
Laure Gramblat
Director of Learning and Development at e-newera. She designs the programmes and leads the sessions: doing rather than listening, starting from real situations rather than abstract concepts.
Co-founder
Cassandre Mariton
Specialist in the governance and ethics of artificial intelligence, lawyer admitted to the Paris and New York Bars. She leads the content on data, rights and responsible use.
Scientific adviser
Dr Diana Piana
Paediatrician (Hôpital Cochin, Paris). She ensures that the content is suited to the cognitive development of children and adolescents, age group by age group.
What families ask us
Is any technical knowledge needed?
None at all: no coding, no maths, no personal equipment. Our workshops start from teenagers' real habits and their own questions. Groups are organised by age so that the level is right for everyone.
Will these workshops teach them to get round their homework?
Quite the opposite. We tackle the question head-on with participants: what a pupil loses by handing over an assignment, what a teacher will notice, and the point at which artificial intelligence becomes legitimate help rather than a shortcut. We work in line with their school's rules.
How is my child's data protected?
We apply the principle of data minimisation: we collect only the information needed to organise the sessions. Waiting-list registration is completed by a parent or legal guardian, using their own contact details.
During sessions, the tools used are selected and configured by us. Participants do not need to create an account in their own name or enter any personal data into these tools.
Are sessions held in person or online?
The arrangements for each session (in person or online, venue and times) will be announced when registration opens. People on the waiting list receive them first.
How much does it cost?
Prices will be announced when registration opens, together with the timetable. Joining the waiting list is free, commits you to nothing and does not reserve a paid place.
My teenager is reluctant. Could these workshops still suit them?
More often than not, yes. We do not open with a lesson or a warning, but with the tools they already use and what they want to create. The two-hour taster workshop exists precisely so they can try it with no commitment.
I represent a secondary school. How do we proceed?
Join the list and give the name of your school in the form below. We will get back to you to design the session together: pupils, teaching staff and, if you wish, a meeting for families.
