photographic Ai for Schools and Parents

School of AI for Educators and Parents

Responsible AI education that keeps humans in control

AI is becoming part of how students learn, create, and solve problems. The goal is not to replace fundamentals, it is to build AI literacy with strong judgement, clear boundaries, and age-appropriate practice.

At Pure Minds Academy, we teach AI in a way that supports students, reassures parents, and equips educators with practical tools and structure.

Why AI literacy matters beyond “tech kids

AI will shape every career path, not just technology roles. The earlier students understand how AI works, where it fails, and how to use it responsibly, the more confident and capable they become.

This is also about life skills. Critical thinking. Problem solving. Digital judgement. Communication. These are transferable skills that support learning across the curriculum.

photographic ai safety for kids

Safety and responsibility (built in, not added later)

We teach AI with guardrails and clarity, so students learn how to use it thoughtfully.

Students learn:
•⁠  ⁠what AI can do well, and what it cannot do reliably  
•⁠  ⁠how to question outputs rather than accept them  
•⁠  ⁠the basics of bias, fairness, and why data quality matters  
•⁠  ⁠responsible use in schoolwork and projects  
•⁠  ⁠when humans must stay in control of decisions

photographic AI camps for kids

Saturday classes and holiday camps (the formats that work best)

Most families and schools want a clear starting point and progress they can see.

•⁠  ⁠Saturday classes build steady capability and confidence week by week.  
•⁠  ⁠Holiday camps create fast momentum through hands-on projects in a short intensive.

Many learners start with a camp, then move into Saturday classes for long-term progression.

How we support schools

We work with schools that want to move beyond “AI awareness” and deliver real capability in a safe and structured way.

Curriculum design and programme planning

We can support schools with:

•⁠  ⁠curriculum design for AI literacy by age band  
•⁠  ⁠lesson frameworks, projects, and assessment rubrics  
•⁠  ⁠alignment to school priorities and classroom realities  
•⁠  ⁠responsible AI use policies for students and staff
 

Technology stacks that keep educators and parents in control

Schools need more than tools. They need control.

We can help design and implement secure, trackable learning platforms that:
•⁠  ⁠support safe student engagement with AI  
•⁠  ⁠provide visibility and usage tracking  
•⁠  ⁠allow clear guardrails and permissions by age group  
•⁠  ⁠keep educators in control of the learning objectives\n- give parents confidence through clarity and transparency
 

Delivery support (in-school and after-school)

We can deliver or support delivery through:
•⁠  ⁠teacher support sessions and practical training  
•⁠  ⁠in-school workshops and term programmes  
•⁠  ⁠after-school clubs and enrichment programmes  
•⁠  ⁠holiday intensives aligned to school calendars

Afterschool Programme Options

Practical, hands-on programmes that engage students as they build and create with AI

Intro to AI (Foundations)

A clear, age-appropriate introduction to what AI is, how it works, and where it can be trusted.

Vibecoding with AI

Build confidence through making. A practical programme that uses AI as a learning companion while reinforcing the fundamentals that keep students safe, logic, structure, and critical thinking.

Responsible AI for Students

How to use AI tools without becoming dependent. Focused on judgement, verification, and academic integrity.

AI Project Studio

Students build guided projects over a term, improving outcomes each week and presenting a final showcase.

AI for Study Skills

Using AI responsibly for planning, revision, summarisation, plus learning support without outsourcing thinking.

How we measure progress

Progress should be visible, not theoretical.

We track progress through:
•⁠  ⁠project outputs and improvements over time  
•⁠  ⁠skill demonstrations (not just “tool usage”)  
•⁠  ⁠confidence in explaining concepts in plain English  
•⁠  ⁠responsible behaviour and judgement, not shortcuts

Is AI safe for children to learn?

It can be, when taught responsibly. We focus on fundamentals, boundaries, ethics, and age-appropriate practice so students build judgement and confidence, not dependency.

Will this replace traditional learning?

No. The goal is to strengthen learning. We keep core skills central and use AI to support problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking.

How can a school start without overwhelming teachers?

Start small with a clear programme. We can support curriculum design, workshop delivery, and teacher enablement so the school builds confidence step by step.

How do you keep parents informed and in control with regards to AI?

We prioritise transparency. With the right platform and structure, parents and educators can see what is being taught, what students are building, and how AI is being used responsibly.

What is the best entry point for most students?

Saturday classes for consistent progress, or a holiday camp for quick momentum. Many students do both.
