AI Workshops for Primary Schools: Four AI Character Journeys
Giant Journeys delivers AI character workshops for primary schools in your own hall, across the UK and Ireland. Pupils question a character from the past who answers in real time, in 45 minute sessions, one class at a time, up to six classes a day, with all equipment provided.
Each AI journey puts a class face to face with a character from the period they are studying. Pupils ask their own questions, listen to the answers and use what they learn to solve a mystery as a team.
Four characters are available. On a full day you can pick and mix AI topics across the classes, so one class meets Taki and the next questions Tommy.
Standard workshops cost £450 plus VAT for a half day of up to four sessions, or £650 plus VAT for a full day of up to six. Full details are on the pricing page.
