Teaching Artificial Intelligence in the Primary Classroom (2022)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving the next wave of technological innovation, and is changing almost every industry around us. With the expansion and ubiquity of AI being a motivating factor in the decisions and need for all children to develop their understanding of Computer Science, it is logical that children also must need to develop their understanding of AI itself.

Firstly, we provide Primary School Teachers with the necessary background information to teach and contextualise AI in the classroom by providing an overview. The second half of the course presents the practical implementation of classroom activities suitable for the primary school years.

An overview of AI: 
  • Core concepts and examples of AI-driven technology 
  • The History and evolution of AI

Plugged and Unplugged AI Activities:
  • Unplugged and plugged worked examples and case studies exploring activity design and implementation
  • Practical classroom advice, student-friendly language and resources
  • Assessment support and advice
