About This Workshop
AI without the hype, hands-on without the homework
Every Y6 teacher has had ‘the ChatGPT conversation’ with their pupils by now. Most haven’t had time to teach what AI actually is, how it works, or what the difference is between training a model and asking a chatbot. The DfE’s 2024 guidance pushes schools to engage with AI literacy but doesn’t provide the curriculum. That’s where Spark2 comes in.
The AI Toolbox workshop is designed for pupils who have already met AI in the wild — Alexa, YouTube, ChatGPT, photo filters — and are full of questions. Through fast-paced, interactive challenges they discover what AI actually is, how it ‘learns’ from examples, why it gets things wrong, how to spot AI-generated images, and how to write clear prompts. No coding and no laptops required — just brilliant facilitation and a room full of curious minds.
The brand frame in our Future Skills programme is AI Toolbox. Same workshop, same brilliant facilitator team — the page title just uses the words parents and computing leads actually search for.
