For students and families
Bit by Bit the kids' magazine for a world of screens and AI
Comics, puzzles, codes to crack and short articles that help kids stay smart, safe and kind online — in three editions for grades K–2, 3–5 and 6–8. Every issue includes a family page with a Spanish summary and a guide for teachers.
Districts in the program can download full issues, co-branded with their name, from the portal.
Fall issue
One theme, three reading levels.
Grades K–2 · “Who's There?”
A read-aloud comic about keeping private information like treasure — and a robot that learns it can guess wrong. Plus a maze, a picture code and spot-the-difference.
Grades 3–5 · “Check It!”
A mystery comic where the AI helper confidently invents a fact — and a book — until the kids verify with two trusted sources. Plus passphrases, a shift cipher and a phishing message to dissect.
Grades 6–8 · “Seeing Isn't Believing”
A voice-clone prank, a scam call to Grandma and a family code word. Plus deepfakes, where photos really go, how scams hack your brain and an AI summary to audit.
