Overview
Bring artificial intelligence to life in your classroom with this fun, hands-on workshop for Key Stage 2 pupils. Through interactive activities and challenges, pupils build and test simple AI systems, discovering how computers learn from data and make decisions.
Along the way, they'll explore what AI is (and isn't), think about where it's used in everyday life, and begin to discuss important topics such as fairness, bias and responsibility. The workshop helps pupils develop critical thinking skills while showing how people design, build and shape AI technologies.
Linked to real-world careers, the session introduces pupils to the exciting opportunities available in technology and digital industries, helping them see the people behind the technology and the pathways they could take in the future.
Delivered in school by experienced facilitators, the workshop is tailored to your pupils and curriculum needs. Activities are designed to be inclusive and accessible, with support for mixed-ability groups and SEND learners, ensuring every young person can take part with confidence.
