Al's Take
AI is no longer just a buzzword, it’s reshaping how we teach, learn and work. The challenge for schools is clear: embrace AI as a tool to support good teaching rather than a shortcut or replacement. For young people, especially those eyeing tech careers, turning hobbies into skills matters more than ever.
