Digital and Data Day, Cambridge University Press and Assessment<\/a>, 18 Mar 2025<\/h2>\n

Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Computer Science Education for an Inclusive Future. This talk explores the current landscape of Computer Science education and the need to improve diversity in tech. Despite the transformative impact of technology, 94% of girls and 79% of boys in England drop computing by age 14. Drawing on practical experience, extensive research, and innovative strategies, the talk will highlight pathways to create a more inclusive, relevant curriculum that prepares learners to thrive in an AI-driven world. New learning models are needed to ensure high-quality, engaging, and rigorous computer science education for all.<\/p>\n

Edtech Summit, Chartered College of Teaching<\/a>, 10 Mar 2025<\/h2>\n

Panel discussion – Where are we now? What do we know about the use and quality of EdTech evidence in the UK? What constitutes quality evidence?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mind Hacks<\/a>, Electric Twin<\/a>, 7 Mar 2025<\/h2>\n

AI could automate 20-40% of teacher tasks, potentially saving up to 13 hours per week for meaningful student engagement. Edtech presents opportunities to address teacher workload in England and indeed forms a central part of government plans to reduce it, and tackle the recruitment and retention crisis. Despite the potential benefits of Edtech, its impact has not been felt equally among educators. Only 30% of teachers reported that technology had reduced their workload.<\/p>\n

Can we predict what the barriers for adoption are, given surveys of teacher perceptions of technology and what strategies can encourage teachers to embrace AI and EdTech as workload-reducing tools? How do we ensure technology further reduces administrative burdens while maintaining high teaching quality and improving learning experience? Hackathon<\/a> held at Google office.<\/p>\n

School Governors Conference, Bi-borough Education Service <\/span>(Kensington and Chelsea and\u00a0<\/i>Westminster)<\/a>, 1 Feb 2025<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Transformative Power of AI in Education. Why is it important to transform education to meet the needs of learners and teachers in an increasingly AI-driven world? What examples exist to show how teachers and AI can collaborate? How can you as governors and school leaders ensure that we maximise the benefits of AI while reducing the risk?<\/p>\n

How shall we learn in the age of AI? Learning Planet Festival<\/a>, 22 Jan 2025<\/h2>\n

The integration of AI into education raises challenges and fears but also offers significant opportunities in personalisation, efficiency, and accessibility. How true is this? How is AI already impacting learning models? Can AI enhance student engagement, improve outcomes, and benefit lower-skilled learners? Will it broaden access for differently-abled individuals, or will it worsen the digital divide, widening the gap between educational ideals and realities?<\/p>\n

The Future of Teaching, Salzburg Global<\/a>, Salzburg, 8-12 Dec 2024<\/h2>\n

The future of education will be shaped by how we address challenges such as AI literacy, digital skills and inclusion in tech. As an advocate for transforming education, my work has focused on building education and industry partnerships, leveraging Edtech to improve education outcomes and reduce inequalities, and prepare learners for a rapidly evolving future.<\/p>\n

I joined global experts in Salzburg, Austria, for \u201cThe Future of Teaching\u201d fellowship to create innovative strategies that will influence education over the next decade.<\/p>\n

Science Council<\/a>, London, 19 Oct 2023<\/h2>\n
Artificial Intelligence has surged in the public consciousness in recent months with new tools and more media debate about the potential benefits and risks of its use in our society. Despite this, there remains limited understanding by policymakers and science organisations on the impact of AI in the STEM workforce, particularly in terms of demand for various technical skills, or upskilling existing science and
\ntechnology professionals. This session opens a space for discussion, acknowledging the work our community has to do for policy to catch up with technology. Programme details here<\/a>.<\/div>\n
