Learning about artificial intelligence isn’t just about technology—it’s about shifting from being passive users to active creators. AI has the potential to transform our lives and careers, and how we choose to embrace this technology will shape our future. Let’s prepare children for a world where they’ll need to creatively solve problems with the help of AI. We’re on the brink of a new era in education—let’s make the most of it!
