Research on Teaching ABOUT AI has predominantly been done in universities. If it is done in schools, teacher voice is missing. We need to change this! On the 1st Feb 2025, we are running a research and educator symposium on Teaching about AI in schools. This is an in-person event where we will start to think about what needs to be researched, what should be taught, and how! If you have started to teach ABOUT AI in your class, are writing resources, or are training others, please sign up soon!

Looking for a fun and interactive way to introduce your learners to the basics of programming? 💡 Our ‘Moving a robot’ unit helps #KS1 learners develop: • Knowledge of early programming concepts • Understanding of basic commands • Programming design skills Find out more about our free resources here: https://lnkd.in/edZA7gyv #Computing #Education #STEMEducation #CSEd

Explore the exciting world of AI with your kids! In this activity, they'll train a machine learning model to detect whether they're holding an apple or a tomato 🍏 🍅 Then, they can improve the classifier by using more diverse training data. Get started: rpf.io/apple-vs-tomato #LearnToCode #CodingForKids #Coding #AI #ML

What an incredible couple of weeks for the Astro Pi team ✨ First they kicked off with a Mission Zero workshop at the office Code Club, where 30 young people coded images to send to the International Space Station 💻 Then they headed to Jodrell Bank to train their team to run Mission Zero as part of their exciting October half-term program 🔭 Finally, on Wednesday, they welcomed 20 young innovators to RPF HQ for an inspiring Mission Space Lab Hackathon. The team we were blown away by the creativity 🌠 Thank you to everyone who took part with such enthusiasm. If you would like to take part in the European Astro Pi Challenge, head to astropi.org to find out more. #AstroPi #MissionZero #MissionSpaceLab #KidsWhoCode

Turn your kids into ghostbusters this #Halloween! 🎃 In this fun coding project, they'll use #Scratch to make their very own ghost-catching game 👻 Each time a player clicks on a ghost, their score increases— but how many points can they rack up before the ghosts escape?

Over half a million students have joined the UK Bebras Challenge this year 🤯 What makes it special? 1. A focus on problem solving and logic: Bebras focuses on logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and computational thinking rather than programming skills. Each question involves tasks that mimic real-world problem-solving, which helps develop critical thinking applicable across subjects and careers. 2. Age and accessibility: Bebras is designed to be inclusive, targeting students from primary to secondary school (ages 6 to 19). With tasks tailored to each age group, the challenge supports progressive learning and makes computational thinking accessible to a wide range of students. 3. Global and cultural reach: The Bebras Challenge is truly global, with participation in over 50 countries. Each country’s Bebras organisation adapts the challenge to align with its curriculum, which makes it more relevant for local students and educational standards. 4. Engagement through games: Bebras problems are presented as fun puzzles or games, making the experience engaging even for students who may not initially be interested in computer science. This approach can spark an interest in computing by showing students that the field involves creativity and problem-solving, not just coding. 5. It's totally free to take part! Entries for this year's challenge are now closed, but you can find out more at www.bebras.uk.

Introduce your young creators to the exciting world of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with our new collection of AI projects! 💻 Designed for clubs and other informal learning environments, these projects give young people the opportunity to work directly with AI technologies. The collection is organised into two paths, each offering a unique approach to #AI and #ML: • Machine learning with Scratch introduces key machine learning concepts through fun, interactive projects. • The AI Toolkit lets creators experiment with AI technologies through hands-on projects using different platforms and tools. A big thank you to #AmazonFutureEngineer for supporting the development of this collection. 👉 Read more: rpf.io/blog-ai-projects #LearnToCode #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #DigitalDivide #STEM
