Understanding AI with Be Internet Legends
We’re kicking off 2025 with two assemblies for primary schools from Be Internet Legends – starting with a focus on artificial intelligence next week.
The Understanding AI assembly on Tuesday 28 January at 9.30am helps children understand what AI is, where they may find it and what it can do.
Following that, we are hosting a Safer Internet Day 2025 assembly on Tuesday 11 February at 9.30am.
This interactive event will help children learn positive skills and behaviours such as safer sharing, fact checking, showing respect and seeking help.
