Beyond the Code: Principal Mr. Anil Kumar’s Reflections on AI’s Impact on Human Values

Q. With the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and the fear that humans might become increasingly mechanized in their roles and functions, how do you see this affecting our humanity ?   “Change is inevitable. Change is the only constant” This famous quote from Plato, Einstein and other famous scientists reflects the evolving impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on society and education raises a key question: who will thrive in this new landscape? I believe that top-level mathematicians and lawyers are likely to fare better because their specialized skills are less susceptible to being replaced by automation.  There’s a certain uncertainty surrounding the future; it’s just a matter of time before we see significant changes. As technology advances rapidly, many professionals will need to adapt, but those who grasp foundational concepts will have a distinct advantage.  Instead of focusing solely on teaching coding to our students, we need to return to the basics—specifically,

Navigating the Tech Landscape: Vice Principal Mr. Naresh Kumar Miglani's Insights on AI and Education

As a teacher, do you believe it is important to balance teaching traditional computer science skills like coding with the evolving landscape of AI and machine learning? Yes, it is crucial to balance teaching traditional computer science skills, such as coding, with the growing relevance of AI and machine learning. Coding forms the foundation of computer science and is necessary to understand how AI systems are built. However, as AI becomes increasingly central to technology, students must also learn about AI and machine learning to remain competitive and capable of contributing to future innovations. Combining both traditional and evolving skills will provide students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for a dynamic tech landscape.

From Programmers to Change-Makers: Mr. Mukesh Kumar on Instilling Ethical Awareness in Students

What do you think is more valuable in the long run: teaching students to program their creations efficiently or teaching them to understand the societal impact of the software they create? While programming efficiency is a crucial skill, understanding the societal impact of the software they create is far more valuable for students in the long run. Efficiency can be improved over time and several resources online can help them achieve better efficiency, but the ability to foresee how technology affects people, communities, and the world requires a deeper level of awareness that can be instilled in them only by a teacher in their early stages of education. By teaching students to consider the broader implications of their work, we prepare them to build technology that not only functions well but also serves society responsibly and ethically. Software doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it touches nearly every aspect of our lives, from healthcare and education to communication and privacy.  When t

Breaking the Mold: Hema Jain's Perspective on Encouraging Girls in Technology

  Do you think encouraging girls to join the tech field has come a long way, and what struggles have you faced on this journey? Significant progress has been made in encouraging girls to enter the tech field, but challenges remain. Initiatives like tech events and workshops have helped increase female participation by offering hands-on experience, and we’ve seen a steady rise in the number of girls pursuing computer science. However, some social barriers persist, such as the misconception that women in tech are mostly suited for design roles. Additionally, opportunities are often limited to select representatives at competitions, which doesn’t allow for widespread skill development. Expanding access and portraying computer science as a vital life skill, rather than just a subject, will inspire more girls to explore this field.

Balancing Innovation and Intellect: Mr. Mohitendra Kumar Dey on AI's Place in Education

As a teacher, do you think AI can play a role in education? If yes, how? Absolutely, AI has immense potential to enhance education. It can automate administrative tasks, offer personalized learning experiences, and even provide career guidance based on students' interests, helping them avoid expensive counseling services. AI can assist teachers in developing lesson plans and other instructional materials. However, it’s important to use AI wisely. Over-reliance can stifle creativity and critical thinking, and not all students have access to the necessary technology. Ethical issues, like data privacy and biased algorithms, also need to be addressed. Balancing the use of AI with independent thinking is essential for ensuring that technology supports, rather than replaces, human ingenuity.

Empowering the Next Generation: Mr. Ajith Kumar on Thriving in Robotics

There is a large amount of competition and demand when it comes to the world of robotics. What advice would you give to students aspiring to get into this field? When faced with numerous competitions, a student must carefully select the most beneficial one to participate in, in order to advance in quality. Otherwise, despite winning numerous similar competitions, the student's progress may remain stagnant. It is essential for seniors to provide opportunities for their juniors to participate in some of these competitions. The key is to maintain a sense of curiosity and consistency. Focus on real-world problems and explore how robotics can offer solutions. Taking risks and experimenting is key—the most successful individuals are those who push boundaries and seek out new ideas. Competitions are valuable as they give you insight into where you stand in this competitive field and help prepare you for the future. Moreover, with the rapid growth of fields like AI and robotics, it's e

The Art of Coding: Ms. Anjana Verma's Blueprint for a Programming Language That Fosters Creativity

If you could design a programming language from scratch that reflects your teaching style, what unique features or philosophies would it include? The tenets of my programming language would be simplicity, creativity, and problem-solving. The programming language would not merely focus on writing algorithms but would encourage students to think critically and systematically about problems. The language would have playful elements starting out as a form of visual block coding-much like Scratch but with a smooth transition to text-based coding as students advance. This would help bridge the gap between understanding logic and writing code. As students grow more confident, the syntax progressively evolves, introducing more complex constructs gradually, without overwhelming them and reducing the intimidation students feel when starting with a new programming language.  The language would encourage experimentation. I believe students learn best when they are given the freedom to explore, mak
