AI literacy for British classrooms
Workshops, lesson resources and staff guidance that help pupils and teachers understand artificial intelligence: what it is, how to use it well, and how to question it.
Why it matters
Pupils are already meeting AI: in search results, on their phones, in apps that write, draw and talk back. Teachers are being asked to guide them, often without dedicated training or time. Our work aims to close that gap with resources that are practical, honest about limitations and designed around how schools actually run.
We don't teach AI as magic or as a threat. We teach it as a tool people build, with strengths, weaknesses and consequences. Our aim is to help young people become thoughtful users and critical thinkers, and maybe the people who build the next generation of these systems.
The goal isn't to make pupils use AI more. It's to help them understand it well enough to choose when and how to use it.Kubair education principle
Through the key stages
- Key Stage 2 · ages 7–11What is a computer that learns?
Sorting games and pattern spotting introduce how machines learn from examples. We talk about smart speakers, recommendations and why a computer can be confidently wrong.
- Key Stage 3 · ages 11–14How chatbots and image generators work
Pupils explore how AI tools produce text and images, test them for accuracy, and learn about bias, privacy and what not to share with an AI tool.
- Key Stage 4 · ages 14–16AI, truth and society
Deepfakes, misinformation, data rights and fairness. Pupils evaluate real-world uses of AI and debate where the lines should be drawn.
- Key Stage 5 · ages 16–18AI, careers and the future of work
How AI is reshaping jobs and study, responsible use in coursework, and an introduction to how models are built and evaluated.

Explainer films
Short whiteboard films from our Media division introduce each idea in a few minutes.
Anatomy of a workshop
A surprising demo: an AI tool gets something confidently wrong. Why?
Hands-off activities reveal how the system learned, and what it can't know.
Pupils weigh up a real dilemma: when should AI be trusted, and who decides?
Pupils agree personal rules for using AI well, and leave with a take-home card.
Indicative 60-minute secondary format. Timings are adapted for each age group.

Safety, privacy & trust
Everything we make for young people starts with safeguarding. Our core workshops run without pupil devices or accounts, and where we use AI tools hands-on, we agree the approach with the school first.
We keep materials under review as national guidance on AI in education changes, and we write for UK classrooms, curricula and spelling.
Workshops never require pupils to sign up to AI services.

StaffQuestions schools ask
Do pupils need devices or accounts?
No. Core workshops need one screen at the front of the room. Any hands-on activity with AI tools is agreed with you in advance and avoids pupil sign-ups.
Which age groups do you work with?
Upper primary (Key Stage 2) through to sixth form, plus separate sessions for staff and for parents and carers.
Can sessions be delivered online?
Yes. Staff training and parent sessions work well online, and pupil sessions can run remotely with a teacher in the room.
Do you write our AI policy?
We help you draft or review it. Final decisions always rest with your leadership team and governors.
What does it cost?
[Pricing and formats, e.g. single session, half-term programme, whole-school package]
