Over the last year or so many schools report making a start with AI but they have gotten stuck or are unsure how to coordinate and organise or what to do next. 

We have developed comprehensive services that gets your school ready for AI and makes AI ready for your school. 

To get schools ready for AI we deliver tailored workshops and bespoke resources that develop your staff’s capability to safely use AI to improve teaching and learning, build on your existing policies and approaches and create ‘easy to follow’ resources for the community to understand the schools’ approach, teachers to manage the risk of different uses of AI and students to be clear about the expectations. We meet you where you are at and help you build what you need. This can begin with basic sessions and artefacts or go straight into whole school implementation and change management plans. 

To make AI ready for schools we have developed a purpose built AI management platform for schools that works with your existing digital systems. Mecha is the tool powering ceChat managing AI for catholic schools. It curbs the AI Apps explosion and reduces data leakage risks, ie lessens the staff learning burden, helping them learn about AI while using AI, supports the to create their own AI tools, and share their best AI innovations with all your staff. For the IT team Mecha uses your AI tooling, and gives you oversight and controls acting as a wrapper around your LLM, protecting your budget with cost controls. Click here to learn more about Mecha.
