AI for Everyone is a practical, one-day tutorial and hackathon delivered by OxTechAI and promoted by the Karima Foundation. It is designed to be accessible to people at many stages of their AI journey, from complete beginners to more experienced users, and it welcomes students, professionals, business owners, community members, and anyone curious about AI. The event is hands-on and supportive, with participants encouraged to stay for the full day so they can follow the learning sequence from beginner level through to more advanced sessions. The day is split into three progressive sections covering AI basics, prompt engineering, tool selection, and the strengths and limitations of different AI models. Participants will also use a free browser-based platform to build and deploy a simple digital project, then move on to more advanced tools and workflows including GitHub, development containers, command-line tools, and AI-assisted development. By the end of the event, attendees should have a working example, practical skills they can use immediately, and more confidence to continue exploring AI independently.

This interactive workshop explores how digital evidence is handled from a crime scene through to court proceedings. Participants are invited to step into the roles of law enforcement officers, analysts, lawyers, forensic practitioners and journalists as they work through a fictional case and learn how evidence is recovered, interpreted and presented. The session is designed as a collaborative team exercise, with group discussion, speaking and feedback built in. Attendees will have support from experts and digital tools as they navigate the investigation and consider how a charge and conviction may be reached in the courtroom. The fictional scenario is based on research from the Clarus EU project, which focuses on improving the quality, impartiality and reliability of digital forensic science. The workshop is part of the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Curious festival of knowledge. It is suitable for ages 16+, and no prior specialist knowledge is needed. Please note that the event includes a fictional crime involving a suspected homophobic hate crime, and photography may take place during the session.
