“Teachers aren’t lacking interest in AI, they’re lacking time.”
Our latest guest post from Experience AI partner @tumo.portugal explores what teachers really need to feel ready to use AI in the classroom: time to explore, discuss, and build confidence.
💬 If you’re an educator, what would help you most right now: more time, more training, or clearer guidance?

It was great to see you at yesterday’s online research seminar 🫶
A special thanks to Shuchi Grover (Raspberry Pi Foundation) for an insightful presentation. We really enjoyed the session and hope you came away with some valuable insights.
Join us next month where we’ll be hearing from Gianfranco Polizzi (University of Birmingham) on Media literacy in the age of AI: Evidence and recommendations on 16 June 2026. We’d love to see you there!

Keeping your students safe with AI guardrails 🛤️
In the latest episode of the Hello World podcast, Chanel Belvin, a Computer Science Education Specialist with 15 years of experience, explores how you can use generative AI (Gen AI) with your learners.
She explores why "guardrails" are essential, and how you can keep your students safe while experimenting with AI tools.
And much more!

AI isn’t neutral, as growing evidence shows.
In today's blog, we share insights from Thema Monroe-White’s research seminar on how bias, identity, and power shape scientific knowledge and AI systems.
A key message: data-driven tools and algorithms are shaped by the people and cultures that produce them.
For classroom educators, the blog offers practical takeaways on how you can address bias in AI systems in your teaching and foster empowering discussions with your students. You'll find out how to help them question how these systems work, whose perspectives are represented, and whose are missing.

We’ve just launched Stage 2 of our Certificate in Applied Computing ✨
Building on Stage 1, the stage supports learners to develop more specialised digital skills with greater independence, combining modular learning with portfolio-based assessment.
The certificate programme is delivered in partnership with Greater Manchester Combined Authority as part of the Manchester Baccalaureate (MBacc) and is currently only open to schools in the Greater Manchester area.
Each stage builds on the last to help learners develop their skills, but learners do not need to start at Stage 1. If your learners already have strong foundational digital skills, they can start at Stage 2.
Find out more on our updated certificate homepage: rpf.io/stage2launch

What does it take to truly prepare young people for a data-driven world? 🧠
Our free Research Seminar series returns with:
“Developing competencies for the future of data and computing: The role of K–12”
Presented by Dr Shuchi Grover (Raspberry Pi Foundation)
Explore:
• Why computing and data skills are becoming essential for every student
• The seven core competencies shaping the future of data education, identified by leading experts at the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
• How these competencies connect directly to STEM standards and real classroom practice
What meaningful, joined-up learning across subjects and grade levels can look like in action
• How the K–12 CS and AI education communities can use this work to drive real change
This seminar is for educators, researchers, and anyone interested in computing, data science, AI education, and STEM learning.
