KS3 Track · Years 7–9

Meet AI, make things, understand the world

Six guided, hands-on sessions that build real intuition about AI — playful, age-appropriate, and grounded in what students actually use.

1. 1

   Meet AI

   Interview a chatbot, try to trick it, spot AI in daily life — games, music, social feeds.

2. 2

   Talking to AI properly

   The 'prompt detective' game: compare badly vs well-worded requests and see the difference.

3. 3

   AI as a homework helper

   Use AI to explain tricky topics, then fact-check it against a textbook. It can be confidently wrong.

4. 4

   Making something with AI

   Generate artwork, illustrate a comic strip, or build a simple chatbot personality. Students' favourite session.

5. 5

   ★ Is AI fair? Is it safe?Featured session

   Spot bias in image generation. Discuss data privacy, what not to share, and why copying AI answers isn't learning.

6. 6

   Show and tell

   Students present their session 4 project to the group and parents, explaining what the AI did and what they did.

KS4/5 Track · Years 10–13

Applied AI skills for study, work and beyond

Six sessions that treat AI as a practical tool — for coursework, research, creative projects and career readiness, with critical thinking built in throughout.

1. 1

   What AI is, and isn't

   Compare a rule-based chatbot vs. a generative model on the same prompts. Build real intuition fast.

2. 2

   Prompting as a skill

   Iterate on a real task — summarise a topic, draft a personal statement — and see how specificity changes output.

3. 3

   AI for research & study

   Generate revision notes and practice questions from real coursework, then verify AI output for accuracy.

4. 4

   Creative & applied project

   Choose a mini-project: a no-code app, an AI-generated presentation, a portfolio piece. Build it.

5. 5

   ★ Ethics, bias & limitationsFeatured session

   Test for bias, discuss academic integrity, data privacy, and what AI means for the careers ahead of them.

6. 6

   Capstone showcase

   Present the session 4 project to the group and parents — explaining what AI did and what they did themselves.
