What students learn
Six connected skills for becoming an AI builder.
The programme moves beyond AI awareness and helps students understand, question and build with modern AI tools and coding concepts.
Prompt Engineering
Learn how clearer instructions, context and constraints can improve AI responses and make prompts more useful.
Critical Thinking & Verification
Question AI outputs, compare responses and recognise why confident answers still need to be checked.
Beginner Python
Build confidence reading and writing simple Python code and use coding logic to make activities more interactive.
AI + Coding Integration
Connect AI outputs with coded logic so students see how an AI-powered experience can become a working project.
Responsible AI Use
Learn to protect personal information, check outputs and use AI as a learning tool rather than a replacement for thinking.
Learning progression
From understanding AI to building with it.
The programme is designed to increase independence gradually, while keeping activities guided and beginner-friendly.
01Understand
Explore AI systems
Build a practical understanding of AI, Generative AI and how different inputs can affect outputs.
02Prompt & Evaluate
Improve AI responses
Write better prompts, compare results and develop the habit of checking whether an answer is useful and reliable.
03Code
Use beginner Python
Apply programming logic in small coding activities and understand how code can control an interactive experience.
04Build
Create an AI + coding project
Bring AI concepts, prompts and coding together in a guided project that can be tested, improved and explained.
Coding focus
Python becomes the logic behind the build.
Students are introduced to beginner Python in a practical context. The goal is not memorising syntax — it is understanding how code can receive information, make decisions and help turn an AI idea into something interactive.
Python builder mindset
01Read simple code and understand what each part is doing.
02Use coding logic to process inputs and decide what happens next.
03Test code, identify problems and improve the result.
04Connect coding activities to AI prompts, outputs and project ideas.
AI Builder Lab
Students practise by building, testing and improving.
Project activities are guided and may vary by class. The emphasis is on applying ideas rather than only watching demonstrations.
Prompt Challenge
Compare different prompts and refine instructions to get clearer, more relevant AI responses.
Python Decision Tool
Create a simple coded interaction that accepts information and follows logical rules to produce an output.
AI Response Checker
Evaluate an AI answer using a checklist for relevance, accuracy, missing context and responsible use.
Generative AI Experiment
Explore how wording and constraints change a generated result and document what made the output improve.
AI + Coding Mini Project
Combine a structured AI task with beginner coding logic to create a small interactive learning experience.
Build, Test & Present
Apply learning in a guided final project and explain what it does, how it works and where human checking is still needed.
Critical thinking built in
Good AI skills include knowing when not to trust the output.
Students are encouraged to use AI thoughtfully, verify important information and understand that AI can produce incomplete or incorrect answers.
Think firstStart with your own idea before asking AI.
Check the outputCompare, question and verify important answers.
Protect privacyAvoid unnecessary personal information in AI tools.
Create, don’t copyUse AI to support understanding and original work.
For parents
What progress should look like.
By the end of the programme, students should be more confident with:
- explaining key AI and Generative AI concepts in their own words
- writing clearer prompts and evaluating the responses they receive
- understanding and writing beginner Python code in guided activities
- connecting AI ideas with coded logic in small projects
- testing, improving and presenting their work
AI Code Builders is designed for students who:
- are currently in Grades 6–8
- are curious about AI, coding or how modern technology works
- want to move beyond simply using AI tools
- are ready for beginner programming and guided project work
- benefit from live instruction and opportunities to ask questions
