One of the founding design principles has always been to keep screen use purposeful and limited. The screen plays a supporting role — it holds sessions together, creates moments of shared focus through class-wide games and short videos, and helps teachers introduce new ideas clearly, confidently, and consistently.
But the real exploration? That happens offline…
✔️ Children can learn about algorithms by physically sorting objects.
✔️They can explore bias through discussion.
✔️They can express how AI makes them feel by drawing.
✔️They can build healthy wellbeing habits through breathing and movement.
✔️They can strengthen good intentions by writing them down and visualising choices.
The screen is useful for introducing an idea, but the more exciting learning happens when children talk, move, laugh, breathe, create and sometimes disagree!
That has always been an important nuance of OurFutureAI - because the programme is “about AI”, people often assume it must mean MORE technology and MORE screen time.
