This teaching pack includes 6 lesson plans with clear learning objectives for children in P5 to P7 including:

Easy-to-follow and ready to use lesson plans on understanding and exploring AI in relation to children’s lived experience and their human rights
Real-life scenarios to explore fairness, safety and privacy
Animated explainer videos created by children for children
Tools for critical thinking, discussion and creativity

These resources can be used in a single lesson or across a whole term. No AI knowledge? No problem! Each pack includes step-by-step guidance to help you explore AI concepts with your pupils in fun and accessible ways.

Let’s give our pupils the tools to understand and shape the future of AI here:
