Digital Skills Education are running a free interactive show about AI in February 2025 at the Edinburgh Futures Institute.

On the 12th December 2024, we held  the event "Creativity and Emerging Tech" at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, which focused on the creative side of technology and how digital techniques, skills and literacies, such as AI, can inform creative projects and ideas.

We are excited to announce the release of a video playlist on Exploring the AI Jungle, the exciting project that our programme lead Judy Robertson carried out with Laura Meagher and Elspeth Maxwell earlier this year. By using the jungle metaphor, the Exploring the AI Jungle picturebook and teachers' guide explain ways how a type of Artificial Intelligence called Generative AI could be used in schools. You can read more and download the Exploring the AI Jungle materials here.

The Data Education in Schools team are thrilled to announce the AI in Secondary Schools project.

Kate Farrell (Director of Curriculum Development and Professional Learning) and Tommy Lawson (Schools Technology Advisor) attended the NC Data Science Education Summit (24-25 October 2024) as invited speakers, nominated by Data Science 4 Everyone (DS4E), a coalition created by the University of Chicago Center for RISC. The Summit unites practitioners from higher education, K-12, industry, and nonprofits to shape data-driven education in North Carolina. 

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a shiny new data-themed Escape Room: Undercover Mission in Norway!

For Computer Science Week 2024, we delivered an online Escape Room Live Lesson for upper primary/lower secondary students.

We are thrilled to have been awarded the Eric Liddell 100 Award! 

With Maths Week Scotland 2024 behind us, we can now look back at the fantastic data-themed activities that we delivered in partnership with Maths Week.
