Break it down, spot the pattern, build it step by step
AI literacy isn't a bolt-on computing topic, it's computational thinking taught early and taught properly: break a problem down, spot the pattern, build the solution step by step. Pupils who learn that with their hands in Year 1 are the ones who use AI critically in Year 11.
Below is the getting-started pathway we recommend to every school, from a first staff session to a full scheme of work.
AI learning experiences with Creative Hut
Getting Started with Vibe Coding
Vibe coding is how software gets built now: you describe what you want, an AI writes the code, and you shape, test and improve it together. Our programme teaches students aged 13 and up to do this properly, not just prompting and hoping, but learning to break a problem down, give clear instructions, read what comes back, spot where it’s wrong and make it better.

Generative AI
Generative AI is already part of how young people search, write and create. Our job is to make sure they understand it. This programme for ages 13+ takes students from curious users to confident, critical ones: how large language and image models actually work, why they get things wrong, how to prompt with purpose, and how to judge the quality of what they produce.

AI Ethics
Every learner, from their first year in school to further and higher education, should be able to ask good questions about AI such as who built it, what it was trained on, who it helps and who it might harm. Our AI Ethics programme grows with the learner: playful, story-led activities about fairness and trust for the youngest pupils, through to structured debate, case studies and real-world dilemmas on bias, privacy, authorship and accountability for older students and post-16.

LEGO Education Computer Science & AI Example
Step 1
Staff Session
A one-hour INSET that demystifies AI for every teacher — what it is, what it isn't, and what pupils need.
Step 2
LEGO Education Computer Science and AI
The LEGO Education Computer Science & AI kit for your year group — unboxed, taught and loved in a week.
Step 3
Your First Unit
A six-lesson unit where pupils train their first model — sorting, predicting and spotting patterns by hand.
Step 4
AI Ethics
Discussion-led lessons on fairness, bias and judgement — pitched for primary and stretched for secondary.
Step 5
Teacher CPD
Accredited AI literacy training so your own staff carry the subject, not visiting specialists.
Step 6
Teacher CPD
AI literacy sequenced across every year group — your curriculum, our map, one plan.
A Six-Week Curriculum Module
The learning doesn’t stop when the STEMx van drives away. Creative Hut experts produced a six-week, curriculum-linked block of content on the VLE, so teachers can keep the race going back in the classroom.
