Good questions deserve clear answers.

Our first programme, Junior AI Explorers, is designed for children aged 8–11. We're developing future programmes for older age groups, which you can read about on our Learning Pathways page.

Junior AI Explorers runs for six weeks, with one 75-minute class each week.

No. The course is designed for complete beginners. Children who have tried coding before will still find plenty to stretch them, especially in the challenge rounds.

Children learn what artificial intelligence is, how machine learning uses examples, why AI makes mistakes, how coding differs from AI, and how to use AI responsibly. Along the way they build a playable game, a digital dance performance and an original creative project, and finish by presenting their work.

Both, and we're careful to explain the difference. Children train and test simple machine-learning models (learning from examples), and also write traditional programs in Scratch (following rules they write themselves). Understanding that contrast is one of the most valuable things they take away.

No. Children will not use ChatGPT or any other chatbot independently. Where generative AI is used — for example in our Imagination Lab week — an adult instructor operates the tool, using fictional prompts that children choose from picture cards. No personal information is ever entered.

Our proposed introductory price is £90 for the full six-week course. The course isn't bookable yet; we'll confirm pricing before anyone is asked to pay.

Yes — our plan is to provide the devices and materials children need during sessions, so there's nothing to buy or bring.

Our policy is that every instructor must complete appropriate safer-recruitment checks before working with children, including identity verification, references, safeguarding training and the criminal record check that applies in their nation — an enhanced DBS check in England and Wales, PVG scheme membership in Scotland or an enhanced AccessNI check in Northern Ireland, with barred list checks where the role is eligible. We will confirm these checks are complete before any class opens.

Yes. Every explorer receives an Inventor Passport to collect mission stamps during the course, and an AI Explorer certificate at the end.

We want every child to feel welcome. Please contact us before booking opens to discuss your child's needs confidentially, and we'll talk through any reasonable adjustments we can make.

We're preparing to launch Junior AI Explorers through partnerships with primary schools across the UK. Host schools and dates haven't been confirmed yet. Join the launch list and we'll let you know when a club is planned at or near your child's school.

Join the launch list on our For Parents page. We only ask for an adult's name, email and town or postcode — never your child's personal details. You can also suggest your child's school as a possible host.

We'd love to talk. We bring the programme, teaching resources and expertise; your school provides a suitable space. Our proposed model is a parent-funded six-week after-school club (£90 per child) hosted at your school, or a school-funded programme. Delivery is subject to agreeing suitable facilities, instructor availability, safeguarding requirements and operating arrangements.

We're developing in-school workshops and enrichment days for delivery during the school day. Please get in touch to discuss what would suit your pupils.

Our proposed model is that we bring the devices and materials needed for sessions. We'll confirm technical requirements, such as Wi-Fi access and power, during planning.

Junior AI Explorers is a six-week course of 75-minute sessions, each with a mission briefing, demonstration, practical exploration, challenge round and celebration. Workshops and enrichment days use condensed versions of the same missions.

We'll work within your school's safeguarding procedures and the statutory guidance that applies in your nation, share our own policies and staff suitability information, and agree supervision, registration, collection and incident reporting arrangements before any programme begins. Schools keep their own safeguarding responsibilities for their site and pupils.

Complete the school partnership enquiry form and we'll arrange an initial, no-commitment conversation.

Our proposed model is a network of locally run operators who would deliver the AI Explorers curriculum in schools, community venues and, where appropriate, holiday programmes — supported by a central brand, curriculum, training and quality standards. The final structure is still being designed.

Not yet. Our franchise proposition is still being developed, and we are not currently offering or selling franchises. You can register your interest to be kept informed and to share your thoughts.

We plan to provide initial training before launch and continuing training afterwards, covering curriculum delivery, classroom management, safeguarding awareness, safe AI practice, technology setup and quality standards.

Potentially. We're considering Area Operator and Multi-Territory Partner concepts for people who want to coordinate several venues. Nothing has been finalised.

No. Education experience is valuable, but we're also interested in entrepreneurs, parents, technology enthusiasts and people with strong community connections — provided they meet suitability and training requirements.

Franchise investment details and commercial packages are currently being developed. Register your interest to discuss future opportunities.

Yes. Our franchise enquiry form lets you choose a region of interest. This helps us understand demand; it does not reserve a territory.
