Build a working AI-powered solution to a real local problem, pilot it with the community, and prove its impact.
A working AI-powered solution to a genuine local problem: a tool, service or assistant a community organisation can actually use, piloted with real people.
A Community Showcase: teams present the solution, the pilot results and the impact data to the partner organisation and an invited audience.
Three 50-minute lessons a week. Checkpoints at weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 keep every team on track; the teacher guide gives each lesson a starter, a main activity and a plenary.
Lesson-by-lesson sequence illustrative, from the programme arc, until the teacher guide is supplied.
Every lesson in the teacher guide follows the same shape: what students should be able to do by the end, a starter, a main activity, a plenary, and the resources to run it. This one is open to everyone.
Each part has its own criteria and rubric in the teacher guide. Judge students at each checkpoint and at the showcase on the tracker, so the evidence is complete when the project ends.
Students use educator-approved AI tools only. No identifiable personal data about participants is entered into AI tools; consent is obtained for research and publication; AI assistance is recorded alongside students’ own decisions. The teacher guide sets out the tool-approval and data rules for this project.
The complete project: the teacher guide, slides, student materials and the assessment rubric. No card required. Use it with a real class and assess how the learning framework works for you.
