Can your AI stay fair when the weather gets extreme?

Train your students to spot AI bias before it happens. This powerful KS3 / lower secondary computing lesson plunges students into the world of dataset fairness — showing how the data we feed an AI directly shapes its decisions.

Using a live (offline) simulation, learners modify unbalanced training data and observe changes to fairness and accuracy in real time. Tasks include an editable WeatherWise AI investigation, an extended design challenge to build a fair year-round dataset, and a class reflection on ethical design and real-world impact.

Through this, students uncover:

• How to identify bias and balance in an AI training dataset
• Why underrepresentation and overrepresentation affect model fairness
• How to justify dataset choices using real-world seasonal distribution
• What fairness means in practical, measurable terms — and why it matters
