The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled us to redefine our learning spaces a nd pedagogical approaches. While the pandemic has passed\, there was no re turn to past. The post-COVID era now coincides with the rapid emergence of transformative technologies such as AI\, ChatGPT\, and large language mod els. These advancements are set to reshape pedagogy fundamentally\, prompt ing critical questions to reimagining the foundation:\n\n• What should b e taught in schools in an AI-driven and networked world?\n• What skills should be assessed\, and how?\n• Who will teach\, and what role will tec hnology play in augmenting educators?\n• How should the goals of formal K-12 education evolve to meet future demands?\n• How should K-12 CS educ ation take advantage of global connectivity?\n\nHowever\, in emerging econ omies\, challenges such as limited infrastructure\, scarce resources\, and the sheer scale of educational systems add layers of complexity to reimag ining this foundation. These challenges are magnified in the developing wo rld\, where digital inequality and resource constraints must be overcome t o leverage advanced educational technologies effectively. This panel bring s together a diverse group of global experts\, including educators\, polic y experts\, and technologists\, to explore these urgent questions. Panelis ts will provide a glimpse of current practices around the world and share their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities presented by the in tegration of advanced digital tools in K-12 computer science education for emerging economies. Join us as we discuss how nations can adapt and thriv e in this new era of global digital education.\n\nPanelists :\n\nJoshua Ha ney\nMiddle School STEM Educator\n\nProfessor Aldo Faisal\nProfessor of AI & Neuroscience at the Dept. of Computing and the Dept. of Bioengineering at Imperial College London.\n\nDr. Mokhlesur Rahman\nSenior Education Spec ialist\n\nAmitava Roy\nFaculty Affiliate at the Dept.
