Teaching about AI
Teaching about AI is a free course from Raspberry Pi Foundation, online. It ends with a free certificate. We rate it intermediate level; the provider doesn't say.
Before you sign up
Suits teachers who already know the basics of AI and want to plan lessons and project work around it. What stands out is the use of the AI project lifecycle to structure learner projects, plus unplugged activities. The main caveat is that it assumes basic knowledge of data-driven AI and machine learning terms. The Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends its free Introducing AI course first for anyone new to these ideas.
