Why Focus on Children?
Children possess an innate curiosity and adaptability, uniquely suited for exploring new concepts and technologies. Introducing AI concepts to basic and primary school students between the ages of 3-11 can foster an environment that encourages exploration, innovation, and creativity from an early age. This thoughtful introduction of AI in education will establish a strong foundation for a future generation that is not only technologically proficient but also equipped to navigate and actively shape a complex and evolving world.
