AI and Data Workshop (Ages 13-15)

Reading data and drawing charts with Python, simple machine learning models, and ethical, safe use of AI.

AI is on every teenager’s mind; in this workshop we aim not just to use it but to understand how it works. Students read, clean and interpret real datasets with charts in Python, then train simple models that classify images and sounds.

How the sessions work

  • One 90-minute session a week, with no more than 10 students; Introduction to Programming with Python is a prerequisite
  • Tabular data, mean and median, bar and line charts
  • Training and test data, accuracy and the idea of overfitting
  • A model that recognises hand gestures through a camera, connected to a robot

Ethics and safety

In every module one session is devoted to the limits of AI: bias in datasets, protecting personal data, checking the accuracy of AI-generated content and citing sources in assignments. Students do not use their own face or voice recordings; they work with anonymous datasets prepared for the class.

Learning outcomes

  • Reading and visualising data
  • Training a simple classifier
  • AI ethics
