AI Literacy for Students

Why AI Literacy Can’t Wait: Highlights from C. Harun Böke’s Live Webinar 

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept. It’s part of our daily reality. In a recent live webinar, maths teacher and AI-in-education advocate, C. Harun Böke invited students, parents, and educators into an eye-opening conversation about how AI is reshaping the world and why preparing young people for that reality is urgent. 

Rather than offering a one-sided lecture, the session sparked curiosity and offered practical glimpses into what it means to be AI-literate today. From how we interact with algorithms online to how we prepare for careers that don’t even exist yet, Harun made it clear: AI isn’t just about tech. It’s about understanding, using, and questioning the tools shaping our future. 

A Taste of What Was Discussed  

Without giving too much away, the webinar explored what it really means to “understand AI,” not just technically, but ethically and creatively. Harun guided the audience through examples that showed how AI can support learning, boost creativity, and transform how young people think about problem solving. 

There’s more to AI than just tools and tricks, however. Harun touched on the critical importance of using AI thoughtfully, raising questions around data, bias, and digital responsibility that every pupil (and adult) should be considering. 

Looking Ahead 

The webinar also introduced something exciting: three new electives launching this September, designed to help learners explore AI in even greater detail. These courses will give pupils a chance to experiment with AI tools, discuss real-world applications, and navigate the ethical challenges head-on.

Whether you’re new to the concept of AI in education or already exploring it, Harun’s approach offers something fresh: a blend of practical insight and meaningful conversation that speaks to the heart of what learning in the AI era should look like.
