A tech-free guide to understanding and teaching AI.

We’re running a public LLMs Unplugged workshop for teachers on Wednesday 18 March (4:30–6:00pm) at the Hedley Beare Centre for Teaching and Learning in Stirling, ACT.

The idea is the same as always—peek inside the black box by building your own paper-and-pen language model. No coding, no maths beyond basic counting and percentages, just hands-on activities that make the core concepts behind ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the rest actually click.

It’s aimed at upper primary and secondary educators across all disciplines—you don’t need to be a STEM teacher to get value out of this. If your students are asking you questions about AI (and they probably are) this workshop will give you a solid mental model of how these things actually work, plus ideas for connecting it back to your curriculum across mathematics, technologies, HASS and literacy.
