Learn how AI actually works

Join our innovative small-group, live online AI courses for 15–18 year olds. No coding or maths background needed. Starting January 2027.

A different way to learn AI

Understanding how AI truly works is fast becoming essential knowledge. Our concept-focused courses fill this knowledge gap without a reliance on heavy mathematics or coding.

Understand, don't just use

Explore the concepts behind AI, rather than simply learning how to use the latest tools.

​

Learn through experimentation

Work with real datasets and guided code to investigate how AI models behave.

​

Small groups, expert teaching

Learn live with an experienced university educator, in classes of no more than ten students.

Courses

We offer 3 parallel courses, running at different times through the week. Each course offers a mixture of introductory and course-specific content, working towards a hands-on project using real-life data. 
10-week courses will begin in January 2027.
 

January - March 2027

Recommendation Systems Lab

AI powers movie and music recommendations for millions of users, but how does it actually work? Build your own AI-powered recommendation system, and discover how platforms like Spotify and Netflix actually decide what to show you.

About

About Stratum

Stratum runs small, live online AI courses for 15-18 year olds, taught by postgraduates experienced in teaching AI at undergraduate level. We run on the belief that AI already shapes daily life, and understanding how it works is now essential knowledge for everyone. To achieve this at secondary school level, our courses stay small — no more than ten students — and each course builds steadily towards a genuine hands-on project, using real data throughout. No coding or maths background is needed.
