Artificial Intelligence in Schools
The CSER Team has been delivering professional learning and support to educators in Artificial Intelligence since 2020. Our work aims to engage students and support teacher professional development in this critical area.
Building skills beyond digital literacy, we need critical and creative thinkers who can incorporate artificial intelligence and emerging technologies into future problem-solving. Such skills are critical to our future workforce and society.
CSER offers a range of free services to educators across Australia, including the following programs.
Experience AI
In partnership with Raspberry Pi Foundation and supported by Google.org we are delighted to offer Experience AI, an educational programme offering cutting-edge resources on artificial intelligence and machine learning for teachers and students.
The programme has been co-developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind to support educators in an increasingly AI-driven world to inform and inspire the next generation. The CSER Team have localised the materials to align to the Australian curriculum, including real-world contexts to support the concepts being taught and which are relatable to young people.
We aim to support learners to become critical consumers and responsible creators of AI systems.
The programme offers free resources for teachers and professional development opportunities, providing you with everything you need to confidently deliver AI and machine-learning sessions in the classroom. Resources include lesson plans, slide decks, worksheets and videos.
All of the resources were developed using a research-informed approach and have been designed around core pedagogical principles.
Students will experience a variety of real-world AI applications and be made aware of the ever-increasing range of AI-related careers. As well as considering the social and ethical implications of AI developments, students will have the opportunity to explore machine learning models and the engines that make them work.
Importantly, the resources have been designed so that teachers in a wide range of subjects can use them and no prior knowledge of AI is necessary.

CSER MOOCs -Teaching AI
Since 2020, CSER has offered free online professional learning to educators in teaching artificial intelligence in the classroom.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving the next wave of technological innovation and is changing almost every industry around us. With the expansion and ubiquity of AI being a motivating factor in decisions and the need for all students to develop their understanding of computer science, it is logical that students also need to develop their understanding of AI itself. CSER courses are self-paced, evidence-based and attract a certificate of completion. Enrol in our free courses via the buttons below:
Teaching AI in the Primary Classroom
Teaching AI in the Secondary Classroom
Thank you to Google for supporting the development and update of these courses and to the Australian Government Department of Education for supporting them to be freely available to Australian educators.
AI in the National Lending Library
