What AI workshop formats does Edison offer to schools?

Four: in-school student workshops (term-time or enrichment), teacher professional learning, AI literacy days (whole-school or year-group), and custom school programs co-designed to your strategic priorities.

What curriculum frameworks does Edison align to?

Edison school programs are mapped to NESA Digital Technologies syllabus, General Capabilities (Critical and Creative Thinking, ICT Capability), emerging national AI curriculum frameworks, and Independent and Catholic sector AI guidance.

How much does a school partnership cost?

Pricing is scoped to the engagement, per-cohort, per-term, or annual partnership. Indicative quotes are provided after a 20-minute scoping call. Visit the For Schools page or the partnership enquiry form for details.

Can workshops be delivered online?

Yes. Edison delivers workshops on-campus in Sydney and Melbourne, or fully online for schools elsewhere in Australia. Hybrid options are supported.

Who teaches Edison school workshops?

All Edison school programs are led by senior Edison faculty, typically including ex-strategy consultants, published curriculum specialists, and practising AI engineers. We do not use casual facilitators.

What outcomes can a school expect?

Sustainable, evidence-informed AI capability across students and teachers, including portfolio artefacts students can defend, a parent-facing showcase, and a capability uplift report for school leadership.

Why Edison

Why Edison AI Academy is different.

Most school AI provision today is incidental, a one-off workshop, a single staff PD session, or a tool subscription with no curriculum. Edison provides the structured alternative: a turnkey AI partner with faculty, curriculum, materials, and assessment in one engagement.

Four delivery formats: Student workshops · Teacher PD · AI literacy days · Custom programs
Mapped to NESA Digital Technologies, General Capabilities, and emerging AI frameworks
Delivered by senior faculty, not gig facilitators
Whole-school, year-group, or selected-cohort options
Sydney, Melbourne, and Australia-wide delivery

AI is not replacing ambitious students. It is replacing students who were never taught how to think with AI.

The Edison Method

How Edison students actually learn.

The Edison Method is our approach to AI education. Students do not simply watch tutorials. They learn by building, questioning, testing, presenting, and improving.

Across each module, students rotate through real-world studio roles, so they understand not only how AI tools work, but how modern teams use AI to solve problems.
