In Summer 2025 ClassBot will be TOURING in primary schools in the London boroughs of Ealing and Brent.

If you would like to find out more about how to bring ClassBot to your school, please contact us at hello@potentialdifference.org.uk.

Classbot 450 is a unique experience for primary school children that we are proud to be co-producing with the extraordinary KIT Theatre and with generous support from John Lyon's Charity.

When an astonishing robot teacher arrives at their school, pupils embark on a week-long, unforgettable adventure that takes over lessons and assemblies, spills into the corridors and out to the playground.

Unfortunately, the robot malfunctions spectacularly during her first lesson, leaving it up to the children to discover her source code and lead on reprogramming her, using a specially designed coding interface.

Combing live theatre, game mechanics and our specially designed coding platform, this immersive experience inspires children to learn National Curriculum coding, all while building their confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

In addition to supporting pupils’ coding education, the project invites pupils to explore philosophical questions posed by advancements in Artificial Intelligence, which will have a huge impact on this generation of children.

“I like Lex because she is really fun and nice. She looked like a human. She is cool. I am mind blown.” - Year 4 Pupil at Leopold Primary School

“Wow! What can I say? The buzz around the school is so exciting.  Thank you so much, the teachers were amazed and the feedback from the parents was great as well. They actually thought it was a robot!  Brilliant.”   - Angela Harvey , Headteacher, Leopold Primary
