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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Start with a free assembly and go as far as a whole-trust partnership. Every session ends with something your students have actually made.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Slides, lesson plans and student workbooks for every session, yours to reuse with any class, forever.
Templates and example projects so teachers can run a Build Sprint without us in the room.
These tools change monthly. We update the library and tell you what’s changed so you’re never teaching last year’s version.
A real person to message when a teacher gets stuck, for a full term after any programme.
A Avestar certificate for every student who ships, plus a portfolio link they can put on a CV or personal statement.
A short write-up of what was built and learned, ready to drop into a newsletter or governors’ pack.
Start free. Scale to a term, a whole school, or an entire trust. We build the price around your budget and the funding you can draw on: CPD, careers, pupil premium and the national AI schemes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One assembly or taster workshop, on us, so you can see how your students take to it before anything else.
