New artificial intelligence (AI) tools have had a profound impact on many areas of our lives in the past twelve months, including on education. Teachers and schools have been exploring how AI tools can transform their work, and how they can teach their learners about this rapidly developing technology. As enabling all schools and teachers to help their learners understand computing and digital technologies is part of our mission, we\u2019ve been working hard to support educators with high-quality, free teaching resources about AI through Experience AI<\/a>, our learning programme in partnership with Google DeepMind.<\/p>\n

In this article, we take you through the updates we\u2019ve made to the Experience AI Lessons based on teachers\u2019 feedback, reveal two new lessons on large language models (LLMs) and biology, and give you the chance to shape the future of the Experience AI programme.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Updated lessons based on your feedback<\/h2>\n

In April we launched the first Experience AI Lessons<\/a> as a unit of six lessons for secondary school students (ages 11 to 14, Key Stage 3) that gives you everything you need to teach AI, including lesson plans, slide decks, worksheets, and videos. Since the launch, we\u2019ve worked closely with teachers and learners to make improvements to the lesson materials.<\/p>\n

The first big update you\u2019ll see now is an additional project for students to do across Lesson 5<\/a> and Lesson 6<\/a>. Before, students could choose between two projects to create their own machine learning model, either to classify data from the world\u2019s oceans or to identify fake news. The new project we\u2019ve added gives students the chance to use images to train a machine learning model to identify whether or not an item is biodegradable and therefore suitable to be put in a food waste bin.<\/p>\n

Our second big update is a new set of teacher-focused videos that summarise each lesson and highlight possible talking points. We hope these videos will help you feel confident and ready to deliver the Experience AI Lessons to your learners.<\/p>\n

A new lesson on large language models<\/h2>\n

As well as updating the six existing lessons, we\u2019ve just released a new seventh lesson<\/a> consisting of a set of activities to help students learn about the capabilities, opportunities, and downsides of LLMs, the models that AI chatbots are based on.<\/p>\n
