Buried within that response — and not actually proposed in the Review itself — was a notable commitment: to “explore introducing a new Level 3 qualification* in data science and AI, to ensure that more young people can secure high-value skills for the future and that we cement the UK’s position as a global leader in AI and technology.” <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1300" height="731" src="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/11/Ada-CS-event.png" alt="Photo of a class of students at computers, in a computer science classroom." class="wp-image-91975" style="aspect-ratio:1.7794583773563921;width:660px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/11/Ada-CS-event.png 1300w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/11/Ada-CS-event-300x169.png 300w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/11/Ada-CS-event-500x281.png 500w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/11/Ada-CS-event-768x432.png 768w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/11/Ada-CS-event-800x450.png 800w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/11/Ada-CS-event-450x253.png 450w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2025/11/Ada-CS-event-900x506.png 900w" sizes="(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px" /> This announcement reflects a growing global recognition that young people need more than basic digital literacy — they need a deeper understanding of data, automation, and the rapidly evolving capabilities of AI. Countries around the world, from Singapore to the United States, are already wrestling with how to embed AI education into secondary schooling. England now joins that international conversation. Why AI education matters AI is an everyday technology now. Young people interact with AI systems constantly, often without realising it. Whether they pursue careers in me…

A learning graph is a visual tool for curriculum planning that moves beyond simple lists.

Yet, this haste often risks us focusing on fleeting technological developments rather than fundamental concepts. As computer science educator Viktoriya Olari, from Free University of Berlin, discovered in her research, the fundamental role of data, which powers most modern AI systems, is critically underestimated in many existing frameworks. If students are to become responsible designers of such systems, they can’t afford to treat AI as an opaque box. Rather, they must first master the messy, human process that begins with the data itself. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1600" height="1067" src="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3.png" alt="Viktoriya Olari, from Free University of Berlin." class="wp-image-92325" style="aspect-ratio:1.4995397617918607;width:672px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3.png 1600w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3-300x200.png 300w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3-500x333.png 500w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3-768x512.png 768w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3-1536x1024.png 1536w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3-800x534.png 800w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3-450x300.png 450w, https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2026/01/image3-900x600.png 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /> Viktoriya Olari In our October research seminar, Viktoriya shared the results of her work over the last four years on how schools can shift the focus from the latest technologies to the underlying data.

Although we found small differences in how clubs make Code Club work locally, what stands out far more are the shared principles that make it work everywhere. Here we share stories from across our network that collectively paint a vibrant picture of what makes this movement work. Inspiration from the people who make Code Club thrive One theme runs through every story: Code Club is powered by people who really understand the needs of their community. During a visit to a set of Code Clubs in India, our team met a group of girls who once faced barriers to attending school. Now, they are confidently creating Scratch projects and exploring new technologie…

But we will shift from showcasing how computing education research is changing teaching and learning in computing lessons, to showcasing how computing education research in other disciplines, such as art or geography, is starting to include teaching about AI. For example, art lessons may change so that learners find out how professional artists are using AI tools to create arts. Or geography lessons may change so that learners discover how professional geographers are using AI to make predictions about physical or human aspects of geography, such as volcanic activity…

We also invite you to register your interest in participating in our next collaborative study on the topic. Knowledge-based approaches to systems design Let’s start by highlighting an important distinction between different approaches to designing systems. In a knowledge-based approach to system design, a set of rules (e.g., if-then statements) are written for the system to execute. Every rule is explicitly defined. This approach is called ‘rule-based’, ‘symbolic’, or ‘logic-based’. For example, a developer could create a program that simulates dialogue by writing …

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 loading="lazy" 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="auto, (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. In the new …
