AI Makers
Think. Verify. Make.

🗓 5 days ⏱ 16 hours total 👥 Up to 15 participants 💻 Bring your own device

Please bring a laptop or tablet — a device can be provided for an extra fee if needed. Registration is made with parental consent.

What is AI Makers?

Not a long lesson about tools — a lab where participants make something themselves

Each session has a mission, an experiment, and a short challenge. Participants explore what AI can and cannot do, practise asking better questions, spot unreliable answers, and create useful text, visuals, and ideas. Each team then brings its learning together in a small, clear project it can share and test.

A programme signature
The AI Maker Passport

Each participant keeps a simple passport documenting experiments, their best prompt, a fact they verified, and what they made themselves. It is not homework — it is a compact record of growth across the six missions.

The learning journey

Six missions that build real understanding and confident use

1

Discover

What is AI, where is it around us, and what can it not do?

2

Ask

Write a clear request, then improve it for a better result.

3

Verify

Do not trust every answer; look for evidence and compare sources.

4

Create

Turn an idea into useful text, visuals, a story, or a simple solution.

5

Use it safely

Protect privacy, respect others' work, and disclose AI's role.

6

Make as a team

Choose a problem, test an idea, improve it, and share the learning.

The team challenge

A small project built around a real idea the team chooses

It can be a short campaign, visual story, simple guide, service idea, or lightweight prototype. What matters is understanding the problem, checking information, and explaining where AI helped.

AI for studying

Using AI for studying & research — honestly

AI is a study partner, not a shortcut for cheating. We teach participants to learn with it — not lean on it — so it strengthens their understanding and respects their own effort and their teachers'.

🧠
Understand, don't copyUse AI to explain an idea — then write it yourself, in your own words.
🔍
Verify every factAI can be confidently wrong — check the source before you believe it or hand it in.
📚
Research & citeFind real sources, credit them, and avoid plagiarism.
✍️
Keep your own voiceLet AI help you polish — but the ideas and words stay yours.
Day five

AI Makers Day: sharing what we made, not repeating what we were told

At the end, each team gets a few minutes to explain its idea, what it tested, what changed after feedback, where AI helped, and where human judgement mattered. The focus is courageous experimentation and learning — not a beauty contest.
