Artificial Intelligence and Big Data

Available for students aged 13-17

Step into the world of tomorrow with a course designed to unlock the potential of Artificial Intelligence and data-driven discovery. This dynamic programme gives students the chance to experiment with cutting-edge tools and technologies while asking important questions about the role AI plays in shaping society. From machine learning models that recognise images to algorithms that generate human-like text, participants will see how theory comes alive through practical challenges and collaborative projects.

Hands-On Learning with Real Impact

Rather than just studying concepts, students will apply them directly by training models, analysing datasets, and testing solutions to real-world problems. The emphasis on experimentation ensures that participants not only understand how AI works but also gain the confidence to use it creatively and responsibly.

Step into the world of Artificial Intelligence and discover how it is already transforming the world around us. Designed for curious students with an interest in technology, this course goes beyond simply using AI to explore how intelligent systems learn, make decisions, and solve real-world problems. Through practical experiments, collaborative projects, and engaging discussions, students will investigate AI across a range of contexts including the environment, sport, neuroscience, bias, and society. 

Hands-On Learning with Real Impact 

Students learn by doing. They will train and test machine learning models, explore how computers recognise patterns from data, and use physical computing devices to collect and analyse real-world information. Rather than treating AI as an abstract concept, the course demonstrates how it can be applied to tackle meaningful challenges, from monitoring environmental change to improving sporting performance and understanding human behaviour. 

AI, Ethics and the Future 

As AI becomes increasingly influential, understanding its opportunities and limitations is essential. Students will examine how AI is changing the way people work, communicate, and innovate, while exploring important ethical questions surrounding privacy, fairness, bias, and trust. Through debates and case studies, they will develop the confidence to think critically about when AI should be used, where human judgement remains vital, and how emerging technologies can be developed responsibly. 

Developing English as a Foreign Language 

This course is ideal for students with advanced English who wish to strengthen their language skills through the study of an academic subject. Following the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach, lessons place equal emphasis on Artificial Intelligence and the English needed to discuss, analyse, and present complex ideas. All students are supported in their English language development during the course. 

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to: 

• Explain how artificial intelligence and machine learning work, using key concepts and real-world examples. 

• Train and evaluate simple machine learning models, applying data collection and analysis to solve practical problems. 

• Assess the opportunities and limitations of AI, considering its impact across society. 

• Debate ethical issues surrounding AI, using critical thinking to discuss bias, fairness, privacy, and responsible innovation. 

• Communicate complex technological ideas effectively, using appropriate academic vocabulary through discussion, collaboration, and presentations.
