Big Give's 'Arts for Impact' campaign is here! Help us to get Classbot 450, our amazing immersive learning adventure, to 2,000 more children across Ealing and Brent.

Technology and AI play a rapidly growing part in our lives. However, many primary schools lack the resources to deliver quality coding education. Children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds with less access to technology at home, are at risk of being put at a life-long disadvantage. There is also a growing gender gap in computing. Meanwhile, the national curriculum has no space to explore the social and educational challenges posed by AI, which will have a huge impact on this generation of children.

Classbot 450 is an interactive adventure for primary school children made with the brilliant KIT Theatre. It revolves around “the world’s first robot teacher”. Unfortunately, she malfunctions spectacularly during her first lesson, leaving it up to the children to discover her source code and reprogram her using a specially designed coding interface. This kicks off a week-long narrative all about AI that unfolds across assemblies, videos and creative workshops where children will solve coding challenges, build confidence and critical thinking.

Arts for Impact is a very special campaign in which Big Give will DOUBLE all donations made before March 25th (ie if you give £5, we will get £10). Even the equivalent amount to a cup of coffee can have real impact!
