The results are in! 🎉

We’re incredibly proud to have been part of the ASDC’s Demystifying AI programme alongside science engagement organisations across the UK.

Between January and April 2026, an amazing 70,021 people took part in hands-on activities exploring artificial intelligence — helping young people, families and educators build confidence in understanding AI, where it can be used, and how it could shape their futures.

It’s been fantastic to play a part in making AI more accessible, engaging and less intimidating for our communities 💡
