As part of the “IT Studio” module on the Diya.Osvita platform, an interactive AI mentor has been launched for students in grades 1–11. The new assistant is built directly into educational materials to help children master programming and digital literacy without providing ready-made answers.
The AI mentor functions as a personal tutor: she explains complex terms, suggests the logic of the solution or the necessary commands (for example, when programming games in grades 7–9), but leaves the task to the child. Thanks to this, students learn to think independently.
Key features:
students can ask questions in their own words or use ready-made prompts;
artificial intelligence focuses exclusively on the topic of a specific lesson and is not distracted by extraneous topics;
While the teacher is working with one student, others can quickly get a hint from the mentor and continue their work.
“Our task is to make AI help children develop their thinking. An AI mentor at IT studios explains the incomprehensible and suggests the next step while the child searches for a solution on their own,” emphasizes Ruslana Korenchuk, CEO of Diya.Osvita.
To use the AI mentor, educational institutions and parents simply need to register on the it-osvita.diia.gov.ua platform:
the teacher creates an online class in his/her office and receives a unique code;
parents register an account, add a child and specify the class code from the teacher;
The student logs in with their data and gets access to lessons with an AI mentor.
The IT Studio platform includes 355 interactive lessons, where instead of dry theory, children create 3D models, draw with code, and learn about digital security.
The need to adapt the educational process to modern technologies is also confirmed by research:
70% of teenagers in Ukraine are already actively using AI, and for 44% it has become an assistant in learning (2025 study);
More than 75% of schoolchildren get their own gadget with the Internet at the age of 8 or earlier, and start using social networks as early as 6–10 years old.
