Introducing the new #DiscussAI Programmes

The modular structure of the new #DiscussAI programmes means you can select workshops to suit the class times you have available.

For Primary Schools: Technology in My Life

This workshop series provides 5th and 6th Class students with a greater appreciation for the technology that they use every day in school and at home. This includes how to use technology in an ethical manner.

The programme will explore:

• The technologies that primary school students should be allowed to access

• The use of technology (such as voice assistants) for help with homework and connecting with others

• Identifying and dealing with forms of unethical and undesirable behaviour facilitated by technology

For Transition Year Students: AI in My Life

AI in My Life will emboldens students to reflect on their experiences in a world shaped increasingly by AI.

This workshop series enables students to:

• Learn about AI and how it works

• Uncover some of the ethical and privacy implications of AI

• Explore AI careers and related further study options

Do I Need to Know Anything about AI?

No! Teachers don’t need any prior knowledge of AI in order to deliver these programmes. ADAPT’s Education and Public Engagement team will provide training for teachers, and the course toolkits will provide teachers with background information on each of the modules.
