At KAI, we recognize that AI has arrived in our classrooms and is here to stay. It is time to raise our learning expectations to match the tools that are now available. AI has the potential to give educators an infinite team of assistants and think creatively about the tasks students to spend their time on.
Who might care?
Conducted 32 informal interviews with people with varied expertise, across these fields.
And what did they say?
The interview discussions led to several questions, opinions, and shared patterns of curiosity, and urgency.
“The children of today are the workforce of tomorrow”
So, there is a need to -
create interactive learning experiences that cater to individual learning styles and needs while fostering four Cs: communication, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration among children to prepare them for the future.
Three pillars in a child’s education
Children, their parents, and the teachers share interactions that become the strong pillars of a child’s education.
How might we empower children to harness the benefits of AI, rather than being restricted from using it, and prepare them for future careers?
