Presentation description
In 2024, Gen-AI represents a transformative force reshaping the very fabric of design practice and pedagogy. Understand the global trends, design industry requirements, tools and the profoundly significant shifts in curriculum development facing us in today's classroom. Gen-AI challenges us to reconsider the skills and competencies required of future designers alongside the looming ethical considerations required within the discourse of design & technology education. Let us take on this opportunity to reimagine design education, paving a path towards a more inclusive, innovative, and ethically-driven design classroom.
