For Students · Ages 15–18
Students don't just learn AI.
They use it to solve real problems.
A structured design thinking workshop where students explore how AI works, investigate a real-world challenge, and pitch a solution — all in one day.
EDNAS workshops teach students to understand, evaluate, and apply AI through real-world problem-solving. No technical background required — every student can participate meaningfully.
The Workshop
Not a coding bootcamp.
Not a tool demo.
Students learn how AI functions, what its limits are, and where it should and shouldn't be used — without needing to code.
Students map who is affected by AI systems, what they need, and what could go wrong — building empathy and ethical reasoning.
Every student leaves with a problem statement, solution concept, and showcase presentation — real evidence of learning.
The Structure
Four sessions. One complete design sprint.
Introduction to AI + Responsible Use
What is AI? How does it work? Where is it used and where should it not be? Students explore foundational concepts and key ethical considerations.
2 hoursAI in Context + Problem Framing
Students examine real-world AI applications in their theme, map stakeholders, and frame a specific challenge their team wants to address.
2 hoursDesign Thinking: Ideation + Prototyping
Teams ideate, select a solution concept, and develop a prototype — mapping how AI would work, what data is needed, and what the risks are.
2 hoursShowcase + Reflection
Teams present their solutions, receive structured peer feedback, and reflect on what they've learned. Certificates are awarded at the close.
2 hoursEach workshop runs across 4 sessions of 2 hours each — delivered in a single day or across consecutive days.
Workshop Themes
Four tracks. Each tied to real-world priorities.
Schools choose the theme that best fits their goals.
Themes can also be rotated across cohorts to keep programming fresh.
Students tackle environmental challenges — water conservation, energy efficiency, waste reduction — using AI-informed thinking to design solutions.
Learners explore how AI can preserve and promote heritage, language, and community traditions while shaping how values inform technology design.
Students apply AI to real business challenges — problem discovery, market research, customer insights — and prototype a solution concept.
Teams design an AI-enabled solution supporting wellbeing in schools or communities — with a strong focus on ethics and human oversight.
Delivery Options
Two ways to bring this to your school.
EDNAS runs the workshop at your school
Ideal for enrichment days, STEM weeks, digital literacy programs, or extra-curricular events. Our specialists handle everything — you provide the students.
Train your teachers to run it themselves
Build internal capacity to scale AI design thinking across your school. Teachers complete a full-day virtual training and receive everything needed to deliver the workshop independently.
Whether you want our team to run it or your teachers to own it, we have a pathway for you.
