Train models, code micro:bits, and unlock the magic of machine learning.
Half term workshop – 14th April 2026
Explore machine learning at the new AI lab. A series of interactive workshops for young minds aged 8–13 years old.
In this hands-on workshops, children will take their first steps into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and explore how machines learn.
Through engaging activities, children will gain a basic understanding of Machine Learning (ML) and train a real model how to recognise patterns – just like humans do!
What the children will learn:
- The fundamentals of machine learning
- What an AI model is and how it works
- How to train a model with data
- Hands-on coding with micro:bit
- Critical thinking and problem-solving
- Collaboration and teamwork
Two workshops over two months where children will learn about AI. Your child is welcome to join both or one of the workshops.
Train the micro:bit to play!
In this workshop your child will use the micro:bit built-in accelerometer to recognise movement patterns .
Through a fun and interactive Rock, Paper, Scissors game, your child will ‘train’ the micro:bit to identify different hand gestures by collecting movement data and using it to recognise patterns.
This workshop is suitable for children 8 – 13 years old
The cost for this workshop is £50
- 2 hour session
- micro:bits are provided for use during the workshops
- Activity sheets
