The Future starts now — in your classroom

Artificial Intelligence is one of the world’s most important and fastest-developing contemporary technologies. By introducing the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) at an early age, we are providing children with the knowledge that will give them a significant advantage in both their personal and professional lives.

With the Photon AI Discovery Kit, you can easily introduce this concept in any learning environment.

What Does a Typical Lesson Look Like?

Using the AI Kit, students build a smart-city model that grows over time, adding buildings and features for the Photon Robot to recognise and interact with. Each lesson expands their city and deepens their understanding of AI concepts.

Project-Based Learning

The lessons follow a project-based approach, where each new skill builds on the last. Students gain hands-on experience with AI, learning how it recognizes colors, shapes, and objects, how automated checkouts identify items, and how self-driving cars navigate.

Real-World Simulation

The kit includes model buildings, market stalls, food items, and equipment that attach easily with magnets, making setup simple in a classroom. The Photon AI Discovery Kit is the first complete teaching tool for introducing students to the exciting world of AI.

Teaching Resources

The kit offers two learning paths with 10 lessons each:

• Path 1 – Ages 7–9: 90-minute classes
• Path 2 – Ages 10–12: 45-minute classes

These ready-to-go resources make it easy to bring AI to life for students of different ages.
