We are happy to be able to offer some funded places for teachers to attend the UK and Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER) conference, a forum for researchers and practitioners to meet and share advances in computer science education.

We are delighted to be launching TRAILS – Teaching Responsible AI Literacy in Schools, our dedicated website to showcase our work bringing AI literacy into the Scottish schools.

We were happy to welcome STV News to one of the sessions of our February run of the Unbelievably Creative show at the Edinburgh Futures Institute. The session featured in a news story on how Scottish school pupils are learning about the potential and risks of AI.

On the 19th February, our Programme Director Judy Robertson and Jen Ross, Professor of Digital Culture and Education Futures at the University of Edinburgh Centre for Research in Digital Education, were invited to speak at the Goodison Group Scotland’s Futures Forum at the Scottish Parliament.

We have been happy to work with partners at Digital Skills Education to bring the free, interactive Unbelievably Creative AI Show to the Edinburgh Futures Institute.

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.
