What is AI?
Using recognisable examples, pupils discover what AI is, what it can do and, just as importantly, what it cannot do.
AI training for schools
Responsible, smart and efficient use of AI
AI is not magic. Anyone who understands how it works can learn to use it critically and responsibly.
Three practical, hands-on building blocks that let children discover step by step what AI is, how it works and where its limits lie.
Using recognisable examples, pupils discover what AI is, what it can do and, just as importantly, what it cannot do.
Pupils discover how a language model predicts the next piece of text, one step at a time. It does not understand like a human, it calculates what is likely to come next.
Pupils practise deciding when they can and cannot trust AI, how to check answers and which information they should not share.
The content and approach grow with the pupils. From a first understanding of how AI works to critical, programme-specific use in the later years.
Ages 12 to 14
In the first two years of secondary school, the focus is on understanding what AI does, how language models form answers and how pupils can use AI responsibly.
Understand
Pupils use recognisable examples to discover how AI recognises patterns, makes predictions and why an AI system does not think like a human.
Use
Pupils experience how a language model predicts the next likely piece of text, step by step, and why that sometimes produces convincing but incorrect answers.
Assess
Pupils practise checking answers, protecting personal information and deciding when AI is or is not appropriate.
Ages 14 to 18
From age 14 onwards, workshops are tailored to the pupils' study programme and level. Together with subject teachers, a track can be built around realistic applications, limitations and risks within their own field.
Understand
Pupils gain insight into how data, instructions, context and probability influence the result of an AI system.
Apply
Pupils use AI in recognisable assignments from their study programme and learn where the technology genuinely adds value.
Assess
Pupils learn to check results and deal consciously with errors, privacy, copyright, bias and human responsibility.
Tailor-made
No standard workshop for every programme. The content is agreed with subject teachers and matched to the pupils' learning goals, prior knowledge and daily practice.
Applying AI in research, analysis, design, problem solving and technical documentation, with attention to correct data and verifiable results.
Responsible use of AI in communication, information processing and administration, with particular attention to privacy, professional confidentiality and human judgement.
Using AI for preparation, planning, safety information, technical support and documentation, without blindly adopting generated information.
Using AI for analysis, communication, customer-oriented work and entrepreneurship, with attention to confidential data and well-founded decisions.
Using AI for writing, translating, summarising and information research, with attention to nuance, source checking, copyright and pupils' own language skills.
For other fields too, a track can be developed together with subject teachers around relevant applications and concrete learning goals.
For school teams
Teachers learn how AI and language models work, where the limitations lie and how to use AI responsibly in their lessons.
The training can be tailored to the education level, the study programme and the specific questions of the school team. Alongside practical applications, there is attention for source checking, privacy, copyright, assessment and guiding pupils in their use of AI.
How language models form answers, why they make mistakes and why convincing output is not necessarily correct.
Using AI purposefully for lesson preparation, differentiated teaching, feedback, exercises and subject-specific assignments.
Making clear agreements, assessing AI use and teaching pupils to account for their methods and sources.
Tailor-made workshops for youth organisations, sports clubs and other community organisations that want to introduce their volunteers or members to AI. Practical, not a deep technical story.
Separate training track
A practice-oriented track for neurodivergent people who want to develop towards a professional role in AI, data or automation.
