STEM Learning AI and Digital Conference 2026

Our Executive Director, Daniel, was at the Digital Conference at the National STEM Learning Centre in York on 26th June 2026 to speak about AI, curriculum, assessment, product safety and the need to protect thinking in education. The keynote kick started the kinds of intriguing conversations with folks we hoped it would, all grounded in the realities schools are facing now. The workshop later in the day gave us more space for dialogue and practical questions.

We were struck by the bravery of the teachers and leaders in the room, but also by the quality of the STEM Learning Centre itself. It is an impressive place, run by people doing seriously inspiring work for schools, from CPD and residentials to hands-on support for their 25,000 members.

The Chief Executive of STEM Learning, Severine Trouillet reflected on the day:

Thank you very much Daniel for such a thought provoking keynote on AI in education. Talking about AI as a product and ensuring that we make the distinction between being useful and being safe for schools were some of the key takeaways I took from it but there are many more. Our team at STEM Learning UK are doing an incredible job as you say and I am so glad you could explore the National STEM Learning centre and meet our education experts. Your words mean a lot to us especially as we strive to support amazing teachers willing to do the best for young people in an ever changing world.
