Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of daily life, shaping how people access information, consume media, and interact with technology. This study explores how hands-on robotics workshops enhance children's AI literacy in an informal learning environment. A mixed-method approach was used to analyze self-reports on enjoyment and difficulty, along with behavioral observations related to initiative, perseverance, and frustration management. The findings indicate that parental participation influences learning experiences, either by fostering independent problem solving or, in some cases, unintentionally hindering a child's participation. The findings emphasize the need for early AI education that clearly differentiates between automated behaviors and genuine machine learning processes.
