Hyett Education delivers hands-on AI and machine learning workshops to primary and secondary schools across the UK. In the AI Robotics: Machine Learning workshop, pupils aged 8 to 16 (Years 4 to 11) train image-recognition models and use them to control LEGO robots, exploring supervised learning, training data, bias and AI ethics at an age-appropriate level. The page identifies selected curriculum connections for the intended cohort and school jurisdiction. We bring the specialist workshop equipment; the school provides the agreed indoor space, tables, chairs and power. The assigned instructor’s vetting status is confirmed in the booking documentation, with evidence available through the school’s verification process. AI workshop prices start from £697 per day, excluding VAT. The exact price uses the geographic price band selected from the school postcode in the live quote engine.

What our AI workshops cover

Our AI and machine learning workshop is fully hands-on and instructor-led, with every pupil training their own model and seeing it control a real robot. Rather than watching a demonstration, pupils gather training data, teach an image-recognition model to tell objects apart, then connect it to a LEGO robot and watch their decisions play out in the physical world. Along the way they meet the ideas that sit behind everyday AI, including how machines learn from examples, why training data matters and how bias and ethics shape the technology they use every day.

  • Training image-recognition models: Pupils capture their own examples and teach a model to recognise different objects, gestures or images, seeing how a machine learns from the data it is given.
  • Controlling LEGO robots with AI: Pupils connect their trained model to a LEGO robot so its movements respond to what the model sees, turning an abstract idea into a working machine.
  • Understanding supervised learning and training data: Pupils explore how more and better examples improve a model's accuracy, learning why the quality of training data shapes how well any AI performs.
  • Exploring bias and AI ethics: Pupils investigate how models can get things wrong or treat groups unfairly, discussing real-world AI ethics at a level pitched to their age and key stage.

Curriculum links and careers value

The AI Robotics: Machine Learning workshop maps directly to the National Curriculum for computing, including how computers represent and process data, the use of algorithms and selection, and how technology shapes the world around us. It also draws on Computing at School AI curriculum resources, giving pupils a structured first encounter with machine learning concepts such as supervised learning, training data and model accuracy. The robot-building element links naturally to design and technology, while discussions of bias and AI ethics support wider science and PSHE objectives. For schools in Wales, the workshop aligns with the Science and Technology area of the Curriculum for Wales. Sessions are delivered in English.

Beyond the curriculum, the day connects pupils to some of the fastest-growing careers in the UK, from AI and machine learning engineering to data science and robotics. By training their own models and confronting questions of fairness and ethics, pupils leave with a grounded, realistic sense of what AI actually is and how it is built, which is exactly the kind of enrichment that brings a computing curriculum to life and raises aspirations.

Why schools choose Hyett for AI and machine learning

The quoted day rate includes the specialist workshop equipment and consumables specified for the booked format. The selected four-session Taster format can reach up to 128 pupils, with up to 32 pupils per session; other formats have lower capacities, and the quote confirms the agreed timetable. The school provides the agreed indoor space, tables, chairs and power. The assigned instructor’s vetting status is confirmed in the booking documentation, with evidence available through the school’s verification process. In-school delivery avoids off-site transport and its travel risk assessment. Hyett Education supplies the activity risk assessment, while the school retains its normal on-site duties and decides how its usual consent and family-information procedures apply. Hyett Education holds public liability insurance, and the current certificate and cover limit are available on request.

Our internally verified delivery ledger contains 1,190 unique schools through May 2026; Antony Hyett confirmed that the current total had passed 1,200 on 16 June 2026. We have delivered 3,100+ hands-on STEM experiences. Current reviews and ratings are available on Trustpilot.

How to book an AI and machine learning workshop

Booking an AI workshop for your school is straightforward, and we handle the logistics so you can focus on the day itself. Here is how it works:

  1. Get in touch. Contact us with your preferred dates, year groups and rough pupil numbers, and tell us a little about what you want pupils to get from the day.
  2. Get your tailored quote. AI workshop prices start from £697 per day, excluding VAT. The exact price uses the geographic price band selected from the school postcode in the live quote engine. Use the tool for the quoted price and format.
  3. Confirm your day. We lock in the date, share the activity risk assessment and preparation notes, confirm the school’s normal on-site duties, and answer questions from your team ahead of the visit.
  4. We deliver in your school. Our instructor arrives with the specialist equipment specified for the booking and runs the agreed sessions across the school day. The school provides the agreed space, furniture and power.

Common Questions

AI Workshop FAQs

What age groups and year groups are AI workshops suitable for?

The AI Robotics: Machine Learning workshop is designed for pupils aged 8 to 16, covering Years 4 to 11. The training data, machine learning concepts and AI ethics discussions are all pitched to the age and year groups taking part, so the day works for both primary and secondary groups within that range.

What equipment do you provide for the AI workshop?

We bring the specialist equipment and consumables for the booked format, including devices for training models and the LEGO robots pupils control. The school provides the agreed indoor space, tables, chairs and power. We confirm the exact setup before the booking. The assigned instructor’s vetting status is confirmed in the booking documentation, with evidence available through the school’s verification process. In-school delivery avoids off-site transport and its travel risk assessment.
