For schools & sixth forms

Functional AI forevery classroom.

We run assemblies, workshops and teacher training that get your students building real things with AI, and thinking harder because of it rather than less. Built around your timetable, mapped to your priorities, and free to try first.

AI is the next calculator. It didn’t make us worse at maths. It freed us to do more, once we’d learned to count.

Most schools’ first move was to ban it and buy a detector. That trains students to hide it, not to use it well. We do the opposite: we teach them to build real things with AI and to keep the judgement to spot when it’s wrong. Your cheating worry gets smaller, not bigger.

What we’re not

We’re not a fear assembly, and we’re not a coding bootcamp that ignores the risks. We don’t lecture about a far-off future.

What we are

A working founder bringing the actual skill into your building: describe a thing, watch it get built, and learn where the machine helps and where it quietly makes you lazy.

Watch it happen

Describe it. Build it. Ship it.

This is what a Build Sprint feels like. A student types what they want in plain English and watches a working app take shape, then publishes it to share with the class that night.

  • No code experience needed: describe, build, test, ship
  • Every student leaves with a live link to their own app
  • Teachers get the starter kit to run it again without us

The proof

Play what students made

Three real projects from Avestar sessions are live on this site right now: a focus app built before mocks, a mental maths arcade game and interactive GCSE notes. None of their makers had written code before.

  • A focus app a Year 11 swears by
  • An arcade game with a 2,140 class record
  • Maths and physics you can drag about

What we run

Six ways into your school

Start with a free assembly and go as far as a whole-trust partnership. Every session ends with something your students have actually made.

Assembly · 45 min

Spark Talk

Whole year group · KS3–KS5

The session that resets how a year group sees AI: not a cheat code, not a threat, the next calculator. The one we give away free as your first booking.

  • A live build in front of the whole hall
  • Honest talk on cheating, jobs and judgement
  • Slides and a follow-up handout you keep
Outcome: a year group that gets why this matters
Workshop · half-day

Prompting Workshop

Class or small group · hands-on

The real craft of getting good work out of AI: asking properly, pushing back, checking the output, and catching it when it’s confidently wrong.

  • A repeatable method, not random luck
  • Subject-specific tasks you choose with us
  • A printed prompt guide for every student
Outcome: students who get useful work out of any AI tool
Workshop · half-day · flagship

Build Sprint

Class · no code experience needed

Students take an idea that solves a real problem in their school or life and build a working app from scratch in a single afternoon. Nothing to set up; we bring it all.

  • Every student ships something that works
  • Hosted online so they can share it that night
  • A showcase write-up for your newsletter
Outcome: a room of students who’ve built and shipped an app
Workshop · half-day

Implications Session

The judgement module · KS4–KS5

The part everyone else skips. Integrity, bias, made-up facts, and the real risk: handing over your thinking until the skill underneath rots. Direct, not preachy.

  • How to spot when AI is wrong
  • Where it helps revision and where it ruins it
  • A class charter on using it honestly
Outcome: students who stay sharp while using it
Full day · sixth form

Entrepreneur Day

Run like a founder’s day

Concept to built product to a pitch, by close. Students leave with a portfolio piece, a recorded pitch, and a genuine edge for UCAS and interviews.

  • Teams build and pitch a real product
  • A judged final with prizes
  • Something concrete for every personal statement
Outcome: a sixth form with shipped projects to talk about
INSET · staff day

Teacher CPD

Whole staff · funded from the CPD line

We train your teachers to use AI in planning, marking support and resource-making, and to run the student sessions themselves. The bit that makes it stick after we leave.

  • Hours back in every teacher’s week
  • A department-by-department playbook
  • Train-the-trainer so staff can run Spark Talks
Outcome: a staff room that can carry this on its own
What we leave behind

You keep everything

We don’t do a session and vanish. Every booking comes with the materials, the resources and the support to keep it running long after we’ve gone.

Ready-to-run lesson packs

Slides, lesson plans and student workbooks for every session, yours to reuse with any class, forever.

A build starter kit

Templates and example projects so teachers can run a Build Sprint without us in the room.

A resource library, kept current

These tools change monthly. We update the library and tell you what’s changed so you’re never teaching last year’s version.

A direct line for a term

A real person to message when a teacher gets stuck, for a full term after any programme.

Student certificates

A Avestar certificate for every student who ships, plus a portfolio link they can put on a CV or personal statement.

A report for SLT and parents

A short write-up of what was built and learned, ready to drop into a newsletter or governors’ pack.

Questions

The things heads ask first

Won’t this just teach them to cheat?

The opposite. Banning it teaches them to hide it; we teach them to use it openly and to recognise when it’s wrong. The Implications session is built entirely around integrity and the danger of leaning on it too hard. Schools tell us their cheating worry shrinks after we’ve been in.

Our students have never coded. Is that a problem?

No. Every session assumes zero code experience. Students describe what they want in plain English and build it from there; that’s the whole point of the new tools, and the whole point of us.

What do we need to provide?

A room, a screen, and devices with a browser. We bring the platform, the accounts, the materials and the projects. If your devices are locked down, tell us and we’ll work around it.

How is it funded?

Most schools draw on the CPD line for teacher training, careers funding for the sixth-form days, and pupil premium where it applies, alongside the national AI-in-education schemes. We’ll point you at the right pot.

Do our teachers need to do anything?

For a one-off session, just be in the room. For a programme, the INSET and train-the-trainer days are designed so your staff can run the basics themselves afterwards; that’s how it sticks.

Is our students’ data safe?

Yes. We use age-appropriate tools, we don’t collect personal data from students, and we’ll share exactly what each session uses before we set foot in the building.
