About this course

Skip About this course

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, so young people need to understand what it is and how it might affect them. But what do you need to know to help them learn what AI systems can do and make informed decisions about how they can ethically take advantage of this technology?

In this three-week course from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, you'll learn about the different types of AI tools that are available, and how they may affect the world of work and learning. You'll find out about the types of problems that AI tools can help to solve, try some out for yourself, and consider how you can discuss the risks, opportunities, and ethical considerations surrounding AI technology with young learners.

This course is part of Experience AI, a free educational programme developed in collaboration by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind. Experience AI provides cutting-edge resources on AI and machine learning for teachers and their students aged 11 to 14.
