Description

Join Ari, an artificial intelligence prototype disguised as a 10-year-old boy, as he tackles his very first mission into humanhood... to make friends. This may seem like a simple mission, but just like learning ‘the floss’, things aren’t always as easy as they seem.  

If you’d like to continue the conversation about the importance of respect at home, or maybe even on the school run, get advice and ideas on where to start in this helpful guide: respect.gov.au/talking-about-respect/
