Beyond the Classroom 2026: Experts Debate AI in Education
A school called Bhawanipur Global Campus held a big event about AI, the smart computer technology that can learn.
Together with a partner called Edugraph, they brought teachers, experts and students together.
The big question of the day was: is AI a friend or a foe in school?
A professor named Dr. Suparna Dhar started the event with a keynote speech.
She told everyone to think about both the good things and the worries that come with using AI.
Students showed off a fun learning game they built, called Gamified Learning, which makes studying more exciting.
Other experts talked about how data and new technology can change education.
At the end, the audience got to ask questions and share their own ideas.
The overall message was that AI can make learning better, but schools need to use it carefully.
Bhawanipur Global Campus and Edugraph hosted Beyond the Classroom 2026 on the theme 'AI in Education – Friend or Foe?'.
Dr. Suparna Dhar delivered the keynote, urging participants to weigh both the opportunities and concerns of AI in learning.
Students of the School of Advanced Computing showcased a live 'Gamified Learning' demonstration.
