🎙️ Sticky Situations! – Real-life kid dilemmas. Real tough choices. What would YOU do?
Every episode of Sticky Situations! presents a short, relatable story about a tricky choice kids might face—like whether to share, speak up, or include someone else. After the story, we break down why it’s a “sticky” situation, explore three possible choices, and ask questions to get kids thinking and talking.
🧠 Great for classroom discussions, morning meetings, or family listening
🎧 Perfect for kids in grades 1–6
🗣️ Builds empathy, critical thinking, and conversation skills
What happens when AI can finish your homework in seconds?
Noah is stuck on the final question of his science homework.
He tries reading the question again.
He checks his textbook.
He thinks about what he learned in class.
But he still doesn’t know the answer.
Then he asks an AI chatbot.
Seconds later, a complete answer appears on the screen.
Noah now has three choices:
1️⃣ Copy the answer
2️⃣ Ask AI for just one hint
3️⃣ Keep trying by himself
Which choice would you make?
In this episode of Sticky Situations, students explore an important question about learning in the age of AI:
Is AI helping you think, or is AI thinking for you?
There may not be one perfect answer.
That is what makes it a Sticky Situation.
Students can listen, compare the choices, explain their reasoning, and think about how technology can be used as a tool for learning rather than simply a shortcut.
And before using AI for schoolwork, there is one question worth asking:
“Is this helping me learn… or just helping me finish?”
🎙️ Listen, think, choose, and decide:
What would YOU do?
