The PrimarAI Story
Dane Smale
Drawing on my experience as both a primary teacher and a father in New South Wales, I am committed to opening up new, innovative approaches to primary education.
Primarai was originally a provider of small 2-6 hr AI education modules to classrooms. This project developed further early 2026 when I discovered the 'Alpha School' in the US.
Although it is a product of its culture, and a majority of its strategy would never fit Australia, I could see how this model could inspire our own version that might truly prepare Australian students for the world ahead and give them the chance they deserve.
The project is a conversation, with a broad goal is to establish a daily routine that provides balance, allowing students to study academic subjects during the morning hours while spending the rest of their day engaged in creative arts, physical activity, and social growth.
This big part - the afternoon session will be the skills and capabilities most valued in a future workplace, there is no doubt about that.
Resilience, creativity, social skills. All the beautiful human bits that AI can never achieve.
