PROGRAMS
Multiple tracks for Ages 8 to 17
Each JTA track is designed for a specific age range and builds on the one before it. All programs are free, run weekly, and require no prior experience or equipment.
AI Foundations
An introduction to computational thinking and the basics of how AI systems work. Students explore pattern recognition, decision trees, and simple machine learning concepts through hands-on activities.
- Understand what AI is and is not
- Recognise patterns and make predictions
- Build a simple rule-based system
AI Discovery
Students go deeper into how AI models are trained, what data means, and how decisions get made. The track includes a project where students design and test their own simple classifier.
- Understand training data and model bias
- Design and test a simple classifier
- Explain how a model makes a decision
How AI Makes Decisions
A critical examination of AI decision-making — how models are built, where they fail, and what that means for the people affected. Students analyse real-world AI systems and present their findings.
- Analyse a real AI system critically
- Identify failure modes and their causes
- Present a structured argument about AI impact
AI Project Studio
Students define, build, and present an original AI project. The studio is structured like a professional sprint — with scoping, iteration, and a final demonstration to an external audience.
- Define a problem worth solving with AI
- Build and iterate on a working prototype
- Present to an external audience
All programs are free. No equipment, no prior experience, and no cost — ever.
