NEW WORKSHOP FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS · SECOND TO SIXTH YEAR · YEAR 9 TO YEAR 14

Navigating AI: study smarter, protect exam results

Students are already using AI for homework, revision and essays. Used well, it is a powerful study tool. Used badly, it quietly does the thinking for them, weakening problem-solving and understanding, and that shows up in the exam hall, where there is no AI to lean on. This interactive workshop explains how AI works and how it shapes our thinking, and gives students the skills, judgement and confidence to make AI work for their study, their exam results and their futures.

Our approach

Not for or against AI. For using it well.

Almost every student in the room has used AI in the last 24 hours, often without noticing: the keyboard that finishes their sentences, the feed that picks their next video, the chatbot that helps with their homework or revision. The workshop starts there, with their own experience, not a lecture.

The tone is curious, honest and balanced. We don't tell students to stop using AI, and we don't pretend it is harmless. We help them see the difference between AI that helps them learn and AI that does the learning for them, so they can protect the understanding and problem-solving skills their exams depend on, and leave with confidence rather than anxiety.

What the session covers

Six things every student should know about AI.

Each workshop is pitched to the year group in front of us and covers six core themes.

How AI Works

Demystify the data, patterns and prediction behind everyday AI tools. Students learn that AI doesn't know things, it predicts them: which is why it can sound confident while being wrong, and why its answers can carry hidden bias.

AI & Exam Results

Relying on AI to do the thinking can weaken problem-solving, memory and focus, and leave students with only a surface understanding of their subjects. In the exam hall, there is no AI to lean on. Students explore why we remember what we work out for ourselves, why the struggle is often where the learning happens, and how to decide which study tasks to hand to AI and which to keep doing themselves.

Chatbots & Human Connection

An honest, non-judgmental conversation about AI companions and “friend” apps: what they offer, what they can't give, and why real human relationships, with all their effort and ups and downs, matter more than ever.

Using Prompts

Practical prompting skills that turn AI into a study partner, using a simple four-step framework. Students practise using AI to explain difficult topics, quiz them for revision and give feedback on their own work, checking what it tells them, and knowing where AI help ends and academic dishonesty begins.

AI on Your Terms

Privacy, deepfakes and healthy habits for staying firmly in control. Students learn what happens to what they type into a chatbot, a three-question check for suspicious images and videos, and simple habits that keep AI working for them.

Student Commitment

Reflection and a call to action that puts the theory into practice. Every student writes down one thing they will try, one thing they will do differently in how they study, and one thing they will protect by keeping it for themselves.

What students take away

What students walk away with.

Clarity

A real understanding of how AI works, and why it can sound confident while being wrong.

Skills

A simple prompting framework and a habit of checking, so they use AI to think better, not less.

Control

Practical habits to protect their thinking, relationships and privacy, and to see AI as a tool they are in control of.

Study smarter for exams

They know how to use AI as a study partner, for explanations, revision questions and feedback, without handing over the thinking, problem-solving and understanding that exams test.

Spot what's fake

They can question suspicious images, audio and video: where did it come from, does anything look wrong, and who benefits if I believe it?

Value real connection

They understand what AI companions can and can't offer, and why friendships with real people are worth the effort.
