The first cohort of students has graduated from the AI Connect programme, a two-year enrichment course delivered at the London AI Campus. This initiative is a collaboration between Google, Camden Council, and Camden Learning, designed to enhance AI literacy and provide opportunities for young people in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) fields. The London AI Campus aims to reduce barriers for underrepresented groups within the technology sector.

Councillor Marcus Boyland, cabinet member for best start for children and families, congratulated the graduating students. He highlighted their hard work and the potential of Camden's youth when provided with access to expertise and support. The programme involved weekly sessions with professionals from organisations including GSK and UCL, focusing on real-world AI projects across various sectors. Students also participated in masterclasses, visited company offices, and attended industry events.
