AI for High School Students is an online course for secondary students working on their own. It covers where the line sits between help and cheating, using AI on homework so you can still do it in the exam, spotting confidently wrong answers, and what never to type into a chatbot.

Get real help with homework, revision and applications without cheating yourself out of the learning, and know how to tell when AI is confidently wrong.

What you'll be able to do

Know exactly where the line is between getting help and handing in work that is not yours
Use AI on homework in a way that means you can still do it in the exam
Spot when AI sounds certain and is completely wrong, and check it in under a minute
Revise with methods that actually stick instead of ones that just feel productive
Write a personal statement or application that sounds like you, because it is you
Know what never to type into a chatbot, and why that matters more at your age
