AI, Coding & Robotics

At Acorn Training, we are passionate about equipping students with the skills they need for a changing world. That is why we are proud to offer our new range of AI, coding, and robotics courses for schools. These programmes are not just about technology; they are about unlocking creativity, problem-solving, and new ways of thinking.

The Rise of AI Tools

In recent years, we have witnessed a remarkable surge in AI tools that are transforming the way we work, learn, and create. From generating ideas to analysing complex data, AI is boosting productivity, sparking creativity, and opening new possibilities. Tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, and GitHub Copilot have made writing, designing, and even coding easier and more accessible than ever before.

Why This Matters for Students

The impact of AI is not limited to businesses and industries. It is highly relevant to students today. With the support of AI, learning can be supercharged. Students can use AI tools to study smarter, learn faster, and explore new areas of interest independently.

At Acorn Training, we actively integrate AI into our STEM courses, ranging from coding to robotics, helping students become confident and responsible users of these powerful technologies. We equip them with the knowledge to not just consume technology but to use it creatively and critically.

One of the most exciting developments is how AI is lowering barriers to coding. Traditionally, coding has been seen as difficult and time-consuming to learn. Now, with the assistance of AI tools, students can pick up coding skills more easily, gaining support as they write code, solve problems, and build their own digital creations. Coding is no longer a niche skill reserved for a few; it is becoming more intuitive, more accessible, and more empowering for all learners.

Why AI and Coding Matter

AI and coding are no longer skills reserved only for aspiring computer scientists or engineers. They are essential tools that benefit students across every field, opening doors to new opportunities and enhancing creativity, problem-solving, and productivity.

• Entrepreneurs can create their own websites, build apps, automate business processes, and develop marketing tools.
• Artists and designers can bring interactive installations, digital art, and innovative media projects to life.
• Scientists can automate experiments, analyse complex data sets, and model real-world phenomena more efficiently.
• Writers and journalists can scrape information, build dynamic online portfolios, and explore new, interactive forms of storytelling.
• Business leaders can embrace automation, make smarter, data-driven decisions, and innovate within their industries.

AI and Robotics

We also take robotics education a step further by integrating AI into the design thinking framework. By combining AI and robotics within this framework, students learn not only to build and code machines but also to think deeply about user needs, practical challenges, and innovative solutions.

Through hands-on projects, students are encouraged to:

• Empathise with real-world problems by considering the people or environments their robots are designed to assist.
• Define clear objectives, using AI tools to research and gather data.
• Ideate creative solutions, supported by AI for brainstorming and rapid prototyping.
• Prototype robots using coding and hardware integration, applying AI to add intelligence and adaptability.
• Test and refine their robots based on feedback and performance, making improvements informed by AI-driven insights.

By embedding AI into the design thinking process, students do not just build robots. They design smarter, more human-centred solutions. They learn to see technology as a tool for real-world impact, developing critical skills in innovation, collaboration, and technical problem-solving.
