Screenshots
Screenshots of code, model outputs, Blockly AI workflows, project interfaces or generated media can show visible progress.

DofE Skills Evidence for AI and Coding
Good evidence shows progress over time. For AI and coding, that usually means project screenshots, code, workflow diagrams, reflections and final outcomes.

Evidence Students Can Keep
Different students will produce different evidence, but these formats work well for technology Skills section activities.
Short Reflections
A few sentences each week explaining what changed, what was difficult and what the student learned can make evidence more meaningful.
Project Files
Python scripts, notebooks, model diagrams, prompt logs or final showcase files help make the work concrete.
Final Showcase
A final chatbot, classifier, generative media showcase, Python app or ML portfolio project can summarise the journey.
Evidence by Course Route
AI and coding evidence should match the actual learning route, not just a generic certificate or attendance record.
DofE AI Evidence
Chatbot tests, classifier screenshots, prompt examples, generative media outputs and model explanations.
Blockly AI Evidence
Visual workflow screenshots showing data, training, model evaluation and prediction steps in an AI pipeline.
Python Evidence
Python programs, debugging notes, algorithm explanations, data science notebooks and final project results.
Questions Parents Ask
What evidence should students upload for DofE Skills?
Students should follow their DofE Leader's guidance. For AI and coding, useful evidence can include screenshots, project files, brief reflections, progress notes and final outcomes.
Is a completion certificate enough evidence?
A certificate can help, but it is usually stronger when paired with evidence of regular progress, project work and the student's own explanation of what they learned.
Can Code & AI help with evidence?
The courses are designed to create evidence-friendly weekly outcomes. Students still manage their own eDofE records and should follow their Leader's requirements.
