The schedule is as follows:
AI & Society Series (with Encode)
Target Audience: Years 10–13
Time: Tuesdays, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
About Encode London
Encode London is a youth-led organisation dedicated to the responsible development of Artificial Intelligence. As the UK branch of a global AI governance network, they work to empower young people to have a voice in how technology shapes our future. Through policy, advocacy, and education, they help students decode the complex ethical, political, and social questions surrounding AI—moving the conversation beyond just “how to code” to “how to live” with this powerful technology.
Don’t just watch the future happen. Decode it.
Join us for an 8-week series that goes beyond the code. We’re decoding the technology rewriting our laws, our environment, and your future career. From deepfakes to robot therapists, come debate the big questions and get ahead of the curve.
