Feedback from Primary School students about AI workshop

In 2013 we gave a morning workshop to a mixed Year 7 class of a London primary school. 22 pupils filled out a feedback sheet afterwards. In answer to the question "Tick the face that fits how much you enjoyed the session" with a choice of a smiley face picture, a neutral face and a frowning face, 91% (20/22) chose the smiley face and the remaining (2) pupils the neutral face. The following is sample open comments they gave.

  • "The best day at School ever!!! P.S. SUPER COOL!!!" - primary school student after an Artificial Intelligence workshop

  • "I really like how you explained it and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you come again"
