Unit Overview

Agent Automation (n8n)

The capstone of digital literacy: students automate real tasks by connecting apps into multi-step AI agents — the exact skill the 2030 workplace is built on.

🚀
Why it matters for the future

Develops AI-era computational thinking — among the fastest-growing 2030 skills.

🧠 Skills & Topics

Triggers & Actions

What starts a workflow and what it does.

Connecting Apps (APIs)

Wiring services together with no/low code.

Logic & Branching

If-this-then-that decision steps.

Testing & Safety

Checking an agent and using it responsibly.

🎯 Learning Outcomes

  • Builds a 5-step automation that runs end-to-end
  • Connects at least two apps via a trigger
  • Adds a conditional branch to a workflow
  • Explains one ethical risk of automation and a safeguard

🎲 Suggested Activities

  1. 1Build a tiny hands-on project applying Agent Automation (n8n)
  2. 2Write an exam-style answer on Agent Automation (n8n)
  3. 3Teach Agent Automation (n8n) back to the class

How Learning is Checked

  • Past-paper and mock-exam questions
  • Graded report or independent project
  • Rubric-based presentation or viva

👨‍👩‍👧 At Home — for Parents

Ask your child to automate a family chore — a reminder, a saved photo album, a homework checklist. Seeing them build a working "robot helper" is the reward.

🍎 In the Classroom — for Teachers

Start from a real problem the student has, not the tool. Build one agent together, then let each student automate a task they care about. Always discuss safety and data.
