AI in Education

Generation AI's apps and learning materials are free and ready to use in the classroom. Awarded, among others, the EU Digital Skills Award 2026.

Why teach AI?

AI tools are not magic. They are systems designed by people that make mistakes and carry the values of their designers. Students who understand how these systems work can question, challenge and build them themselves.

Learning by doing – including about AI systems.
Using one's own data makes data meaningful.
AI can be understood without knowing how to code.
Learning is best done together.
Teaching must be grounded in research.
Design is based on children's rights.
