- What this program is
Partner with Edison to bring rigorous, responsible AI education into your school community.
- Who it is for
Principals, curriculum leaders, innovation leads, heads of STEM, heads of digital learning, and future-focused schools.
- What students build
Sustainable, evidence-informed AI capability across students and teachers
- What students learn
Edison delivers structured student programs, teacher professional learning, AI literacy days, and bespoke programs — built around case-based learning, rotating studio roles, and prototype-first modules.
- How students are taught
Small cohorts of Whole-class, whole-year, or selected cohorts, mentor ratio 1 Edison facilitator : 12–16 students. Edison runs on case-based learning, rotating studio roles, prototype-first modules, and parent and leadership showcase.
- Final outcome
Workshops, student programs, or custom AI learning experiences
Every Edison program runs on the same five-mode cycle — Inquiry → Explore → Build → Critique → Exhibit — with depth and autonomy calibrated to the level. AI Programs for Schools is calibrated for the institutional stage.
Students are mentored in small cohorts, defend their work in studio critique, and exit each module with a portfolio-ready artefact they can demonstrate, explain, and improve.
The Edison Learning Engine
How a program assembles into capability.
Edison programs are not a sequence of lessons. They are a learning engine — six parts that fit together to produce thinkers who can build with AI, defend their work, and lead.
Assembly
Curiosity Core
- 01
Curiosity Core
Students begin with questions, not templates. They learn to investigate problems before reaching for tools — the genuine intellectual engine of the program.
- 02
AI Fluency Layer
Students learn how to use AI systems as thinking partners, research assistants, and creative collaborators — across prompts, models, tools, and workflows.
- 03
Builder Studio
Students move from ideas into prototypes — turning abstract concepts into tangible AI-powered outputs through structured, hands-on experimentation.
- 04
Systems Thinking Ring
Students learn to see the whole system: users, constraints, incentives, workflows, ethics, and impact — the connective tissue that turns parts into outcomes.
- 05
Communication Lens
Students learn to present their thinking clearly, explain how their solution works, defend their decisions, and refine in response to critique.
- 06
Final Prototype Engine
Every module ends with a working prototype that students can demonstrate, explain, and improve — the assembled output of the entire learning engine.
AI is reshaping what students need to learn — faster than most schools can adapt.
School leaders we speak with want to act decisively, but they face three structural constraints. Edison exists to dissolve them.
- 01
No internal AI specialist faculty
Most schools lack the in-house expertise to design a credible, defensible AI program from scratch — and the staffing market is thin.
- 02
ChatGPT is not a curriculum
Off-the-shelf tools are useful, but they are not pedagogy, assessment, or progression. Schools need a structured pathway, not just access.
- 03
Parents are watching
Families increasingly evaluate schools on what they are doing about AI. Silence reads as falling behind. Action without coherence reads as performance.
A turnkey AI partner — faculty, curriculum, materials, assessment.
Four delivery formats. One coherent pedagogy. Calibrated to the depth your school wants to invest in this year.
- 01
Student Workshops
Curriculum-aligned, project-based AI workshops delivered in term-time or as enrichment cohorts — students leave with portfolio artefacts they can demonstrate.
- 02
Teacher Professional Learning
Practical, classroom-ready PD across faculties. Sustained, tool-agnostic, human-centred — designed to build durable AI capability, not single-session hype.
- 03
AI Literacy Days
Whole-school or year-group immersive days that introduce responsible AI, prompting craft, evaluation, and project-based making in one arc.
- 04
Custom School Programs
Co-designed AI learning experiences aligned to your school's strategic priorities, student profile, and curriculum frameworks.
Every Edison school program is mapped to recognised curriculum frameworks.
- NESA Digital Technologies syllabus
- General Capabilities — Critical and Creative Thinking
- General Capabilities — ICT Capability
- Emerging national AI curriculum frameworks
- Independent and Catholic sector AI guidance
Students learn with the tools modern builders actually use.
Edison school partnerships use the tools modern AI-native classrooms actually use — across literacy, collaboration, and teacher workflow.
