Courses
Every LIGHTBULB course is built around one question: what will this student actually need?
4 Streams of learning
Across 7 Years of student engagement
Stream 1
Digital & AI Literacy
5 courses · Years 6, 7 and 10
Students already live inside these tools. Very few can say how they work, where they fail, or when not to trust them.
 Cyber RisksÂ
Why it matters
The World Economic Forum, OECD and LinkedIn all report the same shift: employers now screen for people who can use digital tools, data and AI and interrogate what comes back.
What they cover
Staying safe online, how personal data is collected and monetised, what AI actually does, where it goes wrong, and how to use it well.
What they leave with
The judgement to question an output rather than just generate one - and the instincts of a digital citizen who reads the small print.
 Digital RevolutionÂ
 AI EssentialsÂ
 AI in Real LifeÂ
 Using AIÂ
Stream 2
 Money & BankingÂ
 Personal FinanceÂ
 Towards Financial FluencyÂ
Financial Literacy
Why it matters
Students meet credit, subscriptions, tax and investing long before anyone sits them down to explain any of it. The decisions arrive early and compound for decades.
3 courses · Years 8 to 10
Around a third of adults worldwide are financially literate. Most of the rest learned the hard way, and paid for the lesson.
What they cover
Budgeting, saving, borrowing, tax, investing, and how risk and reward are actually priced - from a first bank account to a first pension.
What they leave with
Confidence reading financial information, and the habit of asking what something really costs before signing.
Stream 3
Business Literacy
2 courses · Years 8 and 9
Employers keep reporting the same gap: strong credentials, no working picture of how an organisation actually runs.
 Business EssentialsÂ
 Business in ActionÂ
Why it matters
Whether a student joins a company, founds one, or never works in business at all, commercial awareness shapes how they are judged in their first five years of work.
What they cover
Customers and markets, strategy, leadership, marketing, operations - and the ethics of a decision that also happens to make money.
What they leave with
The ability to look at a real business problem and say something useful about it, rather than something rehearsed.
Stream 4
 Global MarketsÂ
 Future of EnergyÂ
 Space — the Next FrontierÂ
 The Future World of WorkÂ
 Data — the New OilÂ
 SustainabilityÂ
 Innovation & CreativityÂ
21st Century Issues
Why it matters
The OECD’s argument is that adaptability, not stored content knowledge, decides who thrives. Adaptability has to be practised on questions that are genuinely open.
What they cover
Global markets, energy, sustainability, space, data, innovation, and what work itself looks like next - the widest stream, running from Year 7 through to Year 12.
What they leave with
Opinions they can defend, and the research, collaboration and communication skills to argue them in front of people who disagree.
7 courses · Years 7 to 12
The forces that will reshape their working lives are not on the exam syllabus.
