I had an incredible experience attending the ACM Global Computing Education Conference in Gaborone, hosted by the University of Botswana.

The conference brought together educators, researchers, and practitioners to explore the future of computing education. It was inspiring to engage in conversations around innovation, teaching approaches, and the evolving role of technology in learning.

One key takeaway stood out: Generative AI is transforming education faster than we often realize. This rapid shift calls for clear guidelines and thoughtful frameworks to ensure its use is responsible, ethical, and beneficial for learners.

I left the conference with fresh perspectives and a renewed sense of purpose on how we can shape education systems that adapt to this new era while staying grounded in strong principles.
