Beyond chatbots: Sparking curiosity and agency with AI for tomorrow’s kids

Wednesday 21 January 2026·3:10 pm

See how Sparkli moves beyond chatbots to make AI genuinely useful in class. Grounded in learning science, Sparkli weaves inquiry-based learning with multimodal AI to create interactive learning experiences that grow curiosity, critical thinking and problem-solving in kids aged 6-12. You'll see how social design and light gamification boost engagement while pedagogy stays in the driver's seat. For educators, innovators, and policymakers, we'll demo classroom flows and share what worked and what didn't. You'll leave with a playbook to deepen thinking and build future-ready skills like financial literacy, design thinking, sustainability, AI literacy, entrepreneurship, and emotional intelligence without extra prep. Come for concrete strategies and classroom tools you can implement on Monday.
