Using neuroscience to improve cognitive thinking in childhood development

As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in education, schools are racing to develop AI literacy. Yet AI fluency depends on deeper human capacities that emerge long before students encounter technology.  

This panel session explores the neuroscience of cognitive development and its implications for preparing children to thrive alongside AI. Drawing on research and tested curriculum frameworks, this session explores how authentic learning behaviours are nurtured during critical developmental windows, creating the neurological foundations for ethical, adaptive, and curious learners.
