A teacher's time is precious. That’s why we've developed a new AI teaching assistant built into iCompute. Designed to help with planning, progression and pedagogy — all matched to our curriculum and primary computing. Just ask our TA and it will help you in real time!

Year 3 and 4 @lindalenews trained their own Artificial Intelligence models this week. They used machine learning to get it to recognise a face, discovered why bad training data gives bad predictions, then programmed a sprite to respond to it in Scratch. This is teaching AI in the primary classroom. Not coming soon. Already written, already being taught! iCompute. The complete primary computing curriculum. icompute-uk.com

🆕 I've just finished iCompute's first set of self-directed Scratch coding tutorials for Year 3 children. Pupils can work through the activities at their own pace, revisit instructions when needed and build confidence as they create, test and debug their masterpieces! Years 4, 5 and 6 are next. ✨ Imagine it ✨ Build it ✨ Change the world icompute-uk.com

AI is already shaping children’s lives, and the government's Curriculum Review confirms that it and digital literacy must be taught properly in Computing. At iCompute, we already teach: ✅ digital literacy across KS1 and KS2 ✅ Artificial Intelligence throughout the primary phase ✅ safe, sensible understanding of AI from an early age Read my post about what the review says, and what iCompute is already delivering. icompute-uk.com/news/primary…

In computing, we talked about how photos can be shared online, the importance of seeking permission before sharing and how to identify adults who can help. #hummingbirds #icompute
