✨ Teaching children about AI can be challenging but starting with Machine Learning is a great way to get pupils to understand the tech around them👌. CBBC presenter Tilly tells us more about why she has such an interest in AI and how we can help pupils get started 🦾.

⚡️SCIENCE LESSON IDEA⚡️
Not many people realise the micro:bit can be used to test the conductivity of materials😯. Why not integrate this feature into your science lessons for a full STEM approach💡?

-Effective prompting requires the use of decomposition skills (CT)
-Analyzing the generated code requires critical thinking skills
How do students develop these 2 skills?

📊Data logging with the micro:bit makes great MATHS activities which you can also link into other areas of the curriculum like:
Geography - Survey traffic 🚗 & wildlife 🦆
Science - Growing plants 🌱
PE - design a personalised fitness tracker 🏃
