In Year 7, we have been using Minecraft Education: Generation AI. Here students have ventured through time to create AI-powered inventions. They have activated problem-solving skills, creativity, and computational thinking to explore Responsible AI principles. Through MakeCode blocks or Python coding, this experience allows pupils to discover ways to build a better AI for everyone.
Their journey started with an unexpected visit from the Agent, who comes with an urgent mission. It then guided them through a series of future scenarios where they corrected problems stemming from wayward AI tools. Throughout the challenges, learners resolved issues around fairness and discrimination, reliability and safety, and more as they progressed towards an epic finale. It created thoughtful and deepened discussions about the ethical implications of coding and AI development, essential in today’s ever changing world.
