encoded: In the age of AI, we believe kids still need to learn to code. We’re also testing how AI tools can be used to help with teaching and learning programming. This blog dives into our new classroom unit ‘Programming with AI’, which we’ve developed for teachers to introduce students to learning to code using tools built on large language models (LLMs). We share an overview of the unit, and the early excitement of educators and learners with whom we’re exploring this new approach to teaching and learning programming. <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1999" height="1125" src="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1.jpg" alt="Students completing activities from lesson 1" class="wp-image-92116" style="width:756px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1.jpg 1999w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1-450x253.jpg 450w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/image4-1-900x507.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px" /> Students completing activities from lesson 1 Bridging the gap in programming education As India is accelerating its efforts to modernise digital and computing education, it’s the ideal place for us to test how best to introduce learners to AI-assisted approaches to programming and teach them responsible AI use. We decided to design a ‘Programming with AI’ unit of eight lessons that support students aged 14–16 to progress from block-based programming to text-based Python programming, Python being one of the most widely employed programming languages in industry and academia.

Two Raspberry Pi-powered Astro Pi Mark 1 computers were waiting for him in the Columbus module of the ISS, ready to be set up for an experimental education activity called “Astro Pi”. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1500" height="844" src="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2016/03/Astro-Pi-ISS-vid.png" alt="Tim Peake and one of the Mark 1 Astro Pi computers." class="wp-image-20428" style="width:828px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2016/03/Astro-Pi-ISS-vid.png 1500w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2016/03/Astro-Pi-ISS-vid-300x169.png 300w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2016/03/Astro-Pi-ISS-vid-768x432.png 768w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2016/03/Astro-Pi-ISS-vid-500x281.png 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /> Tim Peake and one of the Mark 1 Astro Pi computers. The European Astro Pi Challenge, an ESA Education project run in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, and supported by national ESEROs, has been running every year since. The challenge now features two Python coding ‘missions’ that offer young people the amazing opportunity to write a short computer program to send to run on the ISS: Mission Zero and Mission Space Lab. Tens of thousands of young people participate in Astro Pi annually, reaching over 160,000 participants since 2015. On 15 December this year, Tim Peake and some of the Astro Pi team were at the Science Museum London running Mission Zero workshops for visiting school groups to create their own pixel art programs to send into space. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1999" height="1551" src="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/1…

Along the way, they have twice received the Coolest Projects Judges’ Favourite Award: first online in 2023, and again at Coolest Projects India in September 2025. How it all began For Jayantika and Ruturaj, the spark for coding began at home. During the pandemic, when schools were closed and days felt long, their father encouraged them to try something new. “When we were at home and there was nothing to do,” recalls Jayantika, “my dad introduced us to coding, and from that time till this date we are participating — and yeah, we love it.” In 2021, they joined their local Code Club, run by the Bidkar Foundation, which provides coding opportunities for young people in rural areas of Pune. That moment opened a door to creativity neither of them expected. Scratch projects…

encoded: At a time when many young people are using AI for personal and learning purposes, schools are trying to figure out what to teach about AI and how (find out more in this summer 2025 data about young people’s usage of AI in the UK). One aspect of this is how technical we should get in explaining how AI works, particularly if we want to debunk naive views of the capabilities of the technology, such as that AI tools ‘think’. In this month’s research seminar, we found out how AI contexts can be added to current classroom maths to make maths more interesting and relevant while teaching the core concepts of AI. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="984" height="342" src="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-11.15.13.png" alt="Prof. Dr. Martin Frank, Assistant Prof. Dr. Sarah Schönbrodt, Research Associate Stephan Kindler" class="wp-image-92021" srcset="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-11.15.13.png 984w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-11.15.13-300x104.png 300w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-11.15.13-500x174.png 500w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-11.15.13-768x267.png 768w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-11.15.13-800x278.png 800w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-11.15.13-450x156.png 450w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-11.15.13-900x313.png 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 984px) 100vw, 984px" /> Prof. Dr. Martin Frank, Assistant Prof. Dr. Sarah Schönbrodt, Research Associate Stephan Kindler At our computing education research seminar in July, a group of researchers from the CAMMP (Computational and Mathematical Modeling Program) research project shared their work: Prof. Dr. Martin Frank, Founder of CAMMP (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Ge…

encoded: One of the things I love most about my role as Chief Learning Officer at the Raspberry Pi Foundation is hearing from teachers around the world. A teacher in Kenya told me how their students debugged their first programming projects on a shared laptop. In Scotland, another explained how our resources gave them the confidence to teach computing for the very first time. These stories remind me daily why our work matters: every young person, no matter where they live, should have the chance to explore the power of computing. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="534" src="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/08/DSC_6563-800x534.jpg" alt="Young people use laptops to do their coding tasks." class="wp-image-91250" style="width:631px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/08/DSC_6563-800x534.jpg 800w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/08/DSC_6563-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/08/DSC_6563-500x334.jpg 500w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/08/DSC_6563-768x513.jpg 768w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/08/DSC_6563-450x301.jpg 450w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/08/DSC_6563-900x601.jpg 900w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/08/DSC_6563.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /> But creating resources that work in such different contexts is not easy. How do we design materials that work in a wide range of learning environments, from a bustling city classroom to a rural school where internet access can vary? How do we make sure that every learner sees themselves reflected in the examples we choose? That’s where our teaching and learning design principles come in. What makes our approach different Over the past decade, we’ve learned a huge amount about what teachers and learners need from us. We’ve made mistakes, we’ve listened, and we’ve refined our practice again and again. The result is a set of design principles t…
