Students understand AI
Understanding that AI isn't just "the new Google" but a force for creativity.
We're a Community Interest Company
Educating the next generation in AI.
Founded by two parents who work hands-on in AI and game development. We run free, live workshops in UK schools so students see what these tools can really do, and try them for themselves.

A look inside a Gen41 session
Who we are
Two parents, a CIC, and a hunch that the world is going to be a radically different place, pretty soon.
We started Gen41 because our own kids were being handed AI with no guide rails and no context. We're not a vendor. We're not a curriculum company. We're a Community Interest Company run by AI and game development parents, and we'd like to share that our expertise your students.
Community Interest Company
Gen41 is a registered CIC. Our primary goal is to educate kids, schools and later parents, on how to leverage AI and how it is changing the world.
Built by AI practitioners
Founded by two parents who work hands-on in AI and game development. We show students the same tools we use ourselves.
Nothing to sell
No products, no subscriptions, no upsell after the session. We just want kids to see what's possible, and try it.
What we do
We turn AI from a buzzword into a thing students can actually use.
A Gen41 session is one hour. We build something real with AI in front of the room, a website, a song, a game, then walking through each step along the way. No theory, no homework, no jargon.
Free workshops
Always free for schools. We come to you.
Ages 8–16
Pitched for upper primary and secondary.
Live AI, no slides
Real tools used live for real results.
How a session runs
One hour. Four moments. Real AI on the screen.
- Step 1Students gather
Whole year group or class, projector, laptop, room.
- Step 2Live AI building
We build something real, narrating every prompt.
- Step 3Hands on the keys
Students drive. They ask, refine, remix.
- Step 4Open Q&A
Questions honestly answered. A realistic assessment of the future.
Outcomes
What students walk out with.
From passive to active
AI stops being a thing that happens to them and becomes a tool they wield.
They think like builders
They leave the room with an instinct: what could I make with this?
What we believe
Three convictions behind everything we do.
I.
AI literacy will define future employability
AI is becoming a core component of almost every job today's students will do. Only around 1% of the world actively uses AI tools (Anthropic), and graduate roles are at their lowest in 13 years. The students who get familiar now will have the same advantage millennials had growing up with a PC.
II.
The biggest creative and entrepreneurial unlock in history
AI is doing for this generation what the internet did for the last, but with a far lower barrier to entry. An idea can become a working game, song, app or business in minutes. Most kids still treat AI as the new Google. We want them to see it as a creative engine.
III.
The great equaliser in education
A personal tutor is the single biggest change you can make to a child's education, and historically only the wealthiest could afford one. AI can tutor any subject, at any pace, with infinite patience. It can play Genghis Khan in a debate, or guide a student to the answer using the Socratic method.
Proof
Piloted at Lambrook School.
We ran our first full sessions with Lambrook, students aged 10–13, and watched the room shift from polite curiosity to hands-up, voices-up, ideas flying. Quotes and case study coming soon.

Partners & sponsors
Support AI education at scale.
Workshops are free for schools, and stay that way thanks to partners who believe in early, hands-on AI literacy. If that's you, we'd love to talk.
