Overview
Give students the knowledge and confidence to understand the AI technologies shaping their lives with Experience AI’s free, ready-to-teach lessons, resources and practical activities. Designed especially for students aged 11 to 16.
Students go beyond simply using AI. They explore how AI and machine learning work, investigate data and predictions, considering the opportunities and challenges these technologies create. They can also build and explore machine learning models – helping them understand what happens behind the technology they use.
Activities encourage students to question AI outputs and think critically about using AI safely and responsibly. Videos introduce students to real AI researchers and engineers, helping connect classroom learning with careers in technology.
Experience AI makes it easier to bring relevant AI learning into your teaching. You can choose resources for different ages and levels of experience. Topics include understanding AI, solving real-world problems with AI, large language models, AI safety, ethics and the environment.
Developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind, Experience AI provides flexible, classroom-ready resources available for free.
