The Teacher's AI Playground: Bot Lab with Matthew Wemyss

Bot Lab: Building Bots for Real-World Impact

At this hands-on session, participants will design a simple bot with a clear purpose, learn how to keep it safe and age-appropriate, and explore how it behaves when pushed beyond its script. The workshop focuses on creating bots that serve genuine educational or practical aims, showing how they can link to meaningful action in each participant’s own context. Attendees will leave with a working prototype and several ideas ready to put into use.
