Event Summary

Hosted at BritCham Shanghai, education experts from The British International School Shanghai (BISS) will discuss their two-year study with Boston College, where students have shown a 20% increase in curiosity and a 21% rise in critical thinking — essential skills for the future.

This workshop focuses on:

✅ The core qualities most essential for children in the age of AI

✅ How to cultivate thinking abilities that AI cannot replicate

✅ How schools guide children to use AI in a rational and responsible manner

✅ How to avoid becoming overly reliant on AI and maintain the ability to think independently
