From Earth to the Stars: Future-Proofing Education:

In the talk " From Earth to the Stars: Future-Proofing Education: Integrating AI and Space Exploration for Next-Generation Learning," I emphasize the need to transform traditional STEM education by replacing rote learning with passion, vision, and innovation. Drawing from over 20 years of international space education experience, I highlight how space exploration, with its boundless curiosity and global appeal, inspires students to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications. AI serves as a powerful catalyst, accelerating discoveries, enabling immersive learning experiences, and personalizing education to nurture talent and foster global collaboration. By intertwining the visionary potential of space with AI-driven advancements, I call for collaborative efforts among educators, governments, and industries to ignite a new era of STEM education that prepares students to dream big and shape the future.
