🎓 U.S. National Academy of Sciences member and Turing Award laureate John Hopcroft took the stage at the China International Conference on Basic Education in Shanghai to share his vision for AI-era learning.
He reminded us that the heart of education has always been about helping students discover what lights them up. After all, as he points out, the concept of a "corporate employee" is merely a century-old novelty! 🌟
With AI reshaping industries at lightning speed, Hopcroft argues it’s not about fearing job loss or debating technology’s impact. Instead, we should teach students to anchor themselves in their passions, stay curious, and navigate global changes with ease. 🤖✨
"Passion-driven learning gives students a compass in a fast-changing world," he explained, urging educators and families to create space for play, exploration, and creative discovery.
For today’s young innovators, following what they love could be the key to thriving in the AI era—and beyond!
