AI & Children’s Rights Poster
A vibrant classroom poster that brings children’s rights and AI to life — bold, thoughtful, and designed to start conversations.
The AI–UNCRC Poster turns the complex intersection of artificial intelligence and children’s rights into a clear, engaging visual resource for teachers and learners.
Created by Elspeth Maxwell (Dog & Fox) in collaboration with Professor Judy Robertson and Dr Aisha Atteby, the poster distils key principles from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and shows how they apply in AI-enabled classrooms.
Bright, bold, and full of subtle storytelling, it helps make essential ideas visible in everyday school spaces.

THE CHALLENGE
AI and children’s rights is a developing, urgent field.
The brief was to design a poster that could live on classroom walls — something beautiful enough to catch the eye, clear enough to teach from, and approachable for teachers and pupils alike.
It needed to translate careful academic framing into something visual, memorable, and shareable.

The brief was to design a poster that could live on classroom walls — something beautiful enough to catch the eye, clear enough to teach from, and approachable for teachers and pupils alike.
It needed to translate careful academic framing into something visual, memorable, and shareable.
The tone blends warmth and wit: small humorous details invite a second look, while the colour palette was deliberately bold and unconventional — a graphic contrast to standard classroom posters.
Each illustration was designed to work on two levels: delightful at first glance, meaningful on closer reading.
THE OUTCOME
- A2 classroom poster, foldable to an A5 leaflet for distribution
- Combines concise, research-driven content with rich visual metaphors
- Includes more than a dozen illustrated scenes linking AI concepts to specific rights
- Fully open resource for teachers and schools

IMPACT
Launched at the University of Edinburgh, the poster has already been adopted by teachers and researchers keen to display it in classrooms and conferences.
Educators describe it as “beautiful, important, and exactly what’s been missing on our walls.”
It continues to raise awareness of AI and rights among both pupils and policy audiences.
