Help us organise and deliver workshops and follow-on sessions for participating school groups.
New programme
AI Learning Readiness
A free online programme for students in Classes 9 to 12. The aim is simple: AI-ready learners, not AI-dependent learners.
Why we are running this
Students are already using AI. They use it for homework, for projects, for questions they are afraid to ask in class. What most of them have not been taught is how to tell a good answer from a confident wrong one.
Schools are catching up — computational thinking and AI are being widened in the senior curriculum from 2026–27 — but the habits students form in the meantime are the ones that stay. This programme is about those habits.
It is free for students. Bright Pines runs it as part of our education work; there is nothing to buy and no fee at any stage.

The programme
What students actually learn
Four things, taught with the subjects they are already studying — not as a separate computer class.
Learn
What AI tools actually do, in plain language — where they help with schoolwork and where they quietly get things wrong.
Think
Students attempt the problem themselves first. AI enters after their own thinking, never before it.
Verify
How to check an AI answer against a textbook, a teacher or a second source, and how to spot a confident mistake.
Use responsibly
Honesty in schoolwork, privacy, and knowing what should never be typed into a chat window.
For CSR and education partners
Help schools build responsible AI habits before poor habits take hold
Partners can support access without turning the programme into a product pitch. The student experience remains free and education-led.
Develop learning resources
Contribute to practical, age-appropriate material for verification, privacy and responsible use.
Bring relevant expertise
Employee volunteers or education specialists may take part where their experience fits the curriculum and safeguarding requirements.
Receive clear reporting
Partners receive transparent programme updates and evidence of delivery, without unsupported outcome claims.
Our method
Attempt → Ask → Challenge → Verify → Reflect
The same five steps every session, until they become the way a student approaches any answer.
1
Attempt
Try the question on your own and write down your answer.
2
Ask
Put the same question to an AI tool and read what it says.
3
Challenge
Ask it why. Push back on the parts that look wrong.
4
Verify
Check it against your book, your notes or your teacher.
5
Reflect
Write what you learned — from the tool and from your own attempt.
For schools
How the pilot runs
We begin with a single online workshop for one grade group, run with the school's own teachers present. After that, students join short follow-on sessions over the next 90 days, and teachers get the material to keep using it.
Schools need nothing more than a projector, a stable connection and a scheduled period. There is no cost to the school or to the family.
Safeguarding
Working with minors
Sessions run with school staff present. We do not collect personal information from students, and participation is with school and parental consent.
Students are taught what not to share with an AI tool — their own or anyone else's personal details — and every tool used in a session is reviewed for age appropriateness first.
Choose the right way to take part
Students and schools can register for a future cohort. CSR and education organisations can start a separate partnership conversation with our team.
