These materials support data science and statistical learning, focusing on core concepts rather than specific tools. Designed for learners at varying levels, the resources facilitate a strong foundation in data handling, analysis, and visualization through practical exercises in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or Python.

Each linked page contains downloadable ZIP files with PowerPoint lessons, worksheets, and answer keys, along with Excel spreadsheets or Python code where applicable. Topics are structured for flexibility, with each designed for one to two class sessions, and some Level 6 tasks encouraging exploration with programming.

This activity follows on from the ‘Is this a Zegah?‘ and ‘Let’s generate a sentence‘ activities about AI.

The ‘Let’s generate a sentence’ activity might not have gone so well.聽 Our sentence didn鈥檛 really reflect a prompt.聽 Also, the sentence you wrote was maybe more like 鈥淭he elephant flew under the train鈥� than 鈥淭he cat sat on the mat鈥�, with no connection between the individual words.

For example, if the animal selected was a cat, then verbs like 鈥榩urred鈥� and 鈥榩ounced鈥� and 鈥榣azed鈥� would be far more likely than verbs such as 鈥榖arked鈥� and 鈥榝etched鈥�.

So, we鈥檙e going to try again. We鈥檙e going to write a story.聽聽This time, we鈥檙e going to be able to see the last few words in the sentence.聽聽We will also have a prompt.

This activity is very similar to the game Consequences where you write words and fold over the paper and pass it on (or Cheddar Gorge where you try to keep a sentence going as long as possible).聽 We鈥檙e going to adapt this a little so we can see the last three words in the sentence, which reflects the limited ‘memory’ in AI systems like Chat-GPT.

Following on from the ‘Is this a Zegah?’ activity, lets work together to train a baby Chat GPT to write a sentence!

This activity uses an online survey tool like Wooclap to create wordclouds from responses, but you could instead ask learners to write their responses on individual sticky notes which could then be arranged into a sticky note bar graph to find the most frequent responses.

Together the learners or participants will ‘write’ a sentence like “The cat sat on the mat” …or “The elephant flew under the train”.

This image was generated by AI.聽 We are quite impressed at the child’s ability to write upside down in crayon.聽 That must be why she wrote ‘sat’ twice!

At the end of the day, they are software, they鈥檙e prediction engines, to make decisions based on images or data it has already encountered.

This is an activity called 鈥淚s this a Zegah?鈥� and it was developed by Dr Marc Cicchino for the New Jersey AI Literacy Summit.聽 Marc asked his young kid for a made up word, and the child very seriously thought about it and responded 鈥淶egah鈥�.

Can your learners work out what a Zegah is?

You can at SXSW Edu (you can listen to him talk about planning an AI teachers conference, or skip to the Zegah activity at around 12 minutes in) and .

The next activities in this AI series are ‘Let’s generate a sentence‘ and ‘Let’s write a story‘.

Briefing for Agents: Create an escape room activity for your fellow Agents. This will be a set of puzzles where a group of players will need to find all the clues and keys, decrypt all the codes and solve all the puzzles to exit the room within a time limit.

Description of learners鈥� task: Learners work in a group to create a themed escape room with a set of puzzles that needs solved to 鈥榚scape鈥�. Learners are encouraged to think about the logical progression of the puzzles and to think about the inputs and outputs of each puzzle.

Timing: The length of this project-style activity will depend on your learners and the depth and detail they go into for the planning. You will need to allow time for the groups to playtest their rooms and then run them with another group (or more).

Materials:

• • Slides
  • Step-by-step guide

If you require a resource in an alternative format, such as large print or a coloured background, please contact dataschools@ed.ac.uk detailing which resource(s) you require.

Briefing for Agents: The VIKINGS have used their experimental time travel textual transmission technology (or 5T for short) to send information back in time to help them raise the money they need to build their secret lair. A DATA operative has snuck into each VIKINGS鈥� base to find clues about what they鈥檙e up to. Can you figure out what information each of the four VIKINGS villains have sent back to themselves?

Description of learners鈥� task: Learners will use different graphs and tables of data to solve a set of four puzzles. Along the way they will learn about cybersecurity topics such as password safety and phishing attacks.

Timing: The four puzzles in this set can be done all together or over separate sessions, in any order. Each puzzle should take 20-40 minutes.

Materials for all puzzles:

• • Slides introducing all four puzzles
  • Instructions handout for all four puzzles
  • Worksheet for filling in all answers
  • Answer key
  • Educator’s guide to further resources

Materials for individual puzzles:

• Not so noble Nobel Prize:
• • Press clipping
  • Nobel prize winners list
  • Bar chart worksheet
• Going viral to get rich:

Briefing for Agents: The VIKINGS are trying to build a new secret mega lair. Discover the location to foil their plans! We don鈥檛 have enough DATA Agents to check out all the possible locations. Use information to narrow down the possibilities so that we can send out Agents to the most likely target.

Description of learners鈥� task: Learners plot sets of information (bunkers, wind farms and data centres) onto a map of Scotland to work out possible locations of the secret lair. Along the way they are introduced to the basics of how the internet works with data centres and undersea fibre optic cables.

Timing: Approx. 60 minutes.

Materials:

• Slides
• Instructions handout
• Guide to using grid references
• Printable Map
• Answer key
• Background info on internet infrastructure
• Editable visual guide/social story

Extension activities:

• Draw the secret lair. Draw the floorplan to help pass on this intelligence to other agents.
• Plan a new headquarters for the DATA Agency. What will you need in your building? What would be the best location for it?
