Sparking AI curiosity with primary school at Salesforce

NigelCorporate Insight Day

Sparking AI curiosity with primary school student from Lewisham
Urban Synergy was sparking AI curiosity with primary school student by joining forces with Salesforce. Thirty curious minds from St Augustine’s Primary School, aged 9 to 11, stepped into the future at the Salesforce AI Centre in London to explore the transformative world of artificial intelligence.

Learning about AI innovation and ethics

The session balanced the excitement of new technology with vital lessons on digital safety and the ethical use of AI, ensuring these future trailblazers are equipped for the digital landscape of tomorrow.

The energy reached new heights during the 'AI Bus Design Challenge.' Students tapped into their boundless creativity, competing to produce the most imaginative AI-generated designs. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the surprise appearance of a robotic dog, which brought the abstract concepts of cutting-edge technology to life right before their eyes.

Impact of the event

The impact of the event was felt by everyone involved. One Salesforce volunteer shared their enthusiasm, stating, “It was an absolute pleasure volunteering with Urban Synergy and the primary school kids. I very much enjoyed myself and the day was so much fun. Can’t wait to do it again.”

The experience also left a lasting impression on the families. A parent who accompanied the trip remarked on the inspiration sparked in her daughter: “It was a great pleasure and privilege to be a part of your workshop. My daughter was fascinated by what she saw and excited about the exposure to Artificial Intelligence. I could tell that an interest has been planted in her heart.”

By bridging the gap between industry and education, Urban Synergy and Salesforce are helping the next generation imagine a world where they are not just consumers of technology, but its creators.
