Interactive Generative AI Lessons for Year 7 Students in Term 2

During Term 2, as part of the Foundations programme, Year 7 students will be taking part in an interactive lecture and a series of lessons focused on generative artificial intelligence (AI). These sessions will cover how generative AI works, its ethical considerations and potential security risks, its capabilities and limitations, and the basics of prompt engineering. Students will also be introduced to the generative AI platforms ChatGPT and Perplexity.

Please note that both ChatGPT and Perplexity have Terms and Conditions that restrict use by individuals under the age of 13.

The structure of the Year 7 Foundations programme presents a valuable opportunity to deliver these lessons. There is great advantage in learning about emerging technology in a controlled environment such as that schools can provide. Please review the information we have provided and if you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to Amanda or Lisa to discuss.

This lesson series is scheduled to begin on Tuesday 27 May. Please complete the consent to participate form by Friday 23 May.
