AI Educational Revolution at UCL (in-person and online) on 19 March 2026 offers a compelling, student-centered look at how AI and programming are shaping education in UK girls’ schools. This event, a collaboration between the Girls’ Schools Association (GSA) and University College London (UCL), seeks to elevate AI literacy, showcase classroom-ready ideas, and spark curiosity about emerging technologies among educators, students, and policymakers.
Why this matters: as AI and automation become integral to learning and everyday life, teachers and schools need practical insights on integrating AI concepts into curricula, ethical considerations, and hands-on activities.

The event is designed to be accessible both in-person at UCL and online, ensuring maximum participation for schools across the UK.
