MyComputerBrain™ provides comprehensive resources, including lesson plans, tutorials, explainer videos, and professional development materials to support teachers. This support makes it easy to integrate AI education into existing curricula. Scalable and user-friendly, MyComputerBrain™ is suitable for various educational levels and aligns with Digital Technologies Mathematics curricula. Its engaging content fosters a positive learning environment, motivating students and cultivating interest in STEM fields. The platform supports English, German, French, Spanish and Mandarin. All courses are available in English and selected courses, as indicated, in additional languages.

Course offerings
The course offerings cover a diverse range of topics designed for students in primary and secondary education, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence.
-
“Introduction to Python” is a free, browser-based course that teaches students in Years 7–10 the fundamentals of Python coding through a mysterious, story-driven mission. In this course, your students don’t start with “Hello World.”They start by discovering a strange program on the school server — and waking up a dormant system that may or may not have their best interests at heart.
-
Computer Logic teaches bits and logic gates to solve everyday problems.
-
“Artificial Intelligence Introduction” provides foundational knowledge on AI and neural networks and their application to real-world scenarios, such as home automation and image classification. It features a STEM lab in which students can analyse data with AI.
-
“Artificial Intelligence: Robotics” introduces AI concepts through virtual robotics. It teaches students how AI can be useful for self-driving cars.
-
“Generative AI” focuses on generative artificial intelligence, enabling students to solve problems by programming artificial neural networks.
-
“Virtual B4” delves into the fundamentals of computer operations, including binary numbers, logic, and memory, allowing students to build and program a simple logic computer.
-
“Computer Graphics” explores the world of computer graphics, animations, and ASCII-style artworks.
-
“Primary School Starter Course” introduces younger students to binary numbers, variables, and computer graphics.
-
The “Algorithms” course covers the basics of creating and understanding algorithms
