Project ARI

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.

Well, it was inevitable really, but this week Ari has discovered social media and he has big ambitions to ‘go viral’. Like most of Ari’s plans, this one doesn’t go quite as well as he’d hoped.

It’s Ari’s very first Halloween and his costume obsession has reached new levels (and so has his ability to rattle off Halloween trivia). Will he be able to come up with the perfect costume to take out the Best Costume award at Quinn’s big Halloween birthday party?

Ari is very excited to be going on his very first school excursion, just like a real human kid! He’ll get to ride the bus, be partnered with a buddy, and check out a real-life space suit. But things don’t go to plan when the school bully Jeremy gets up to his old tricks.
