Curriculum & Learning Structure

An 8-week journey into AI through project-based learning

Aligned to the UNESCO AI Competency Framework For Students

Course Overview

This 8-week online programme introduces teenagers (ages 14-16) to the world of artificial intelligence in a way that is creative, ethical, and practical. Designed for young people who are curious about the future but won't necessarily learn this at school, the course combines hands-on exploration with real-world projects.

At the heart of the course is a personal project: each student designs and presents an AI-assisted solution to a real-world challenge that matters to them, keeping a project journal and applying ethical frameworks along the way.

Programme Format

  • • Delivered live online, once per week
  • • 8 weeks, no coding experience needed
  • • Guided tool exploration plus independent project work
  • • Project journal, peer feedback, and a final showcase presentation

Course Structure

Eight weeks, each building on the last, from AI fundamentals to a final project showcase
