Supporting Technical AI Learning for Young People in England
Raspberry Pi Foundation Blog

EDITOR BRIEF
Young people are interested in how AI works and want chances to explore it more deeply. The excerpt says there is no established UK qualification for technical AI skills yet, which makes it hard to add dedicated AI learning to the curriculum. As a stopgap, the work described is helping students use the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) to build and get recognition for AI-related projects.
INSIGHTS
This matters because learners can still practice real AI skills even before a new qualification exists. A good next step is to plan a small EPQ-style project, such as investigating data, building a simple model, and explaining the results.
