AI for Primary Students
& Prompt Engineering for Primary Students
Children are growing up with AI. These courses give primary-school learners a safe, playful and honest introduction: what AI is, how to ask it good questions, how to check whether an answer is true, and how to stay safe online. Sessions are designed for children and delivered with teachers present, using child-appropriate tools.
- Primary-school learners, roughly ages 8 to 12
- Delivered in schools, with teachers present
- Parents and teachers are welcome to observe
- No computer experience needed
