Empowering Parents: Using AI to Support Your Child's Education

FREE Workshop - Learn the benefits of using AI


Are you curious about how artificial intelligence (AI) can help your child succeed in school? Join us for an exciting, interactive workshop designed just for parents! In today’s digital age, AI isn’t just a tool for tech experts—it's a powerful resource that can benefit students of all ages. With a little guidance, you can learn to use AI to enhance your child’s learning, making studying and revising more engaging, effective, and fun.


What You’ll Learn:

During this workshop, we'll dive into practical ways that AI can support your child's education, and we’ll focus on using AI as a supplement to learning—not as a shortcut. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:


Introduction to Prompt Engineering: AI responds best to clear and specific instructions. We’ll teach you the basics of prompt engineering, helping you and your child craft questions and requests that produce valuable, tailored responses from AI tools. Imagine being able to ask for an explanation of a tricky math concept in simple terms or a summary of a history lesson—it's all possible with the right approach!


Using AI for Teaching and Revision: AI can be a fantastic teaching assistant, creating custom revision quizzes, providing practice problems, and offering explanations for complex topics. We’ll show you how to turn AI into a study buddy for your child, encouraging them to explore topics and test their understanding in new ways.


Responsible Use of AI Content: We know that some students might feel tempted to use AI-generated text as a quick solution, but this workshop will teach you and your child strategies to use AI responsibly. Instead of copy-pasting answers, we’ll discuss how to interpret, summarise, and build on AI’s responses, encouraging critical thinking and independent learning.


This workshop is perfect for parents and carers who want to understand AI tools and learn how to guide their child’s learning journey in an ethical, constructive way. With our hands-on approach, you’ll leave feeling confident and ready to explore this new world with your child, turning AI into an educational ally.
