For UK secondary teachers · ages 11-18
Every Monday, a ready-to-teach, UK-mapped AI literacy lesson on this week's AI news.
Slides, lesson plan, worksheet and teacher guide, in three age versions. No pupil AI accounts needed. Safeguarding notes included.
How it works
- We pick the week's AI story. Shortlisted from the news and checked against primary sources.
- We turn it into a lesson. Built on a consistent template, in versions for 11-14, 14-16 and 16-18, and checked by a human before release.
- You teach it on Monday. Packs arrive by 7am during term, with 20, 45 and 60 minute options.

Three versions every week: 11-14 (KS3), 14-16 (KS4), 16-18 (post-16, with more debate and ethics). No pupil AI accounts: activities use screenshots, printed examples and offline tasks.
Curriculum fit
Each lesson plan maps the lesson to the subjects where AI literacy is actually taught in UK secondary schools. Initial focus is England; Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland mapping is planned.
