NextWave STEM: Artificial Intelligence Literacy

The programme forms part of NextWaveSTEM's wider portfolio of STEM education offerings, which are delivered to schools, after-school programmes, and learning centres. The Artificial Intelligence Literacy course covers topics such as how computers process information, the foundations of machine learning, practical applications of AI in everyday life, and the ethical considerations associated with the technology.

Sessions are structured to combine theoretical instruction with hands-on activities suitable for young learners. Delivery is typically aimed at students in primary and secondary education, with curriculum materials adapted to different age groups and ability levels.

The course is intended to provide foundational digital literacy skills relating to artificial intelligence, including understanding how AI systems are trained, recognising the role of data in machine learning, and exploring real-world examples of AI deployment. NextWaveSTEM provides instructional resources, lesson plans, and supporting materials for educators delivering the programme within schools or out-of-school learning environments.
