What happened

Cool Cat Teacher’s Vicki Davis published a sponsored 10 Minute Teacher episode with Laura Gray, Senior Learning Manager at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, about Experience AI. Davis says Experience AI is a free AI literacy program co-developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind, with ready-to-teach lessons for ages 8 to 16 across multiple subjects, including some lessons that do not need a computer.

Why it matters

The practical point is not a new standalone course, but a way to attach AI literacy to existing learning goals. Gray said teachers already teach related skills such as data collection, prediction, context, verification, critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving. The age distinction matters: Gray said a 15-year-old can discuss “anthropomorphizing,” while younger students may need unplugged activities such as analyzing advertisements that make AI products sound human. Davis highlighted Gray’s prompt for judgment: “If I use AI for this task, what will I lose?”

What to do next

Teams considering these materials should review the lesson plans, slide decks, worksheets, videos, and age bands against their own curriculum, policies, and learner needs. Pilot one unplugged discussion first, such as asking students how a smart speaker works, then compare misconceptions before adding tool use. Keep local uncertainty visible: the source describes adaptable resources and examples, but implementation decisions still depend on school rules, subject aims, access, and teacher readiness.
