I strongly believe that teaching tech, coding, and AI in all schools is essential for preparing the next generation for the future. These skills are not just for aspiring engineers or computer scientists; they are fundamental tools that will empower students to innovate, solve problems, and succeed in a digital world.

As a tech leader and a parent, I believe that children should not have smartphones before high school. Early exposure to smartphones can distract from learning and social development. It's essential to balance technology use and encourage kids to engage in physical activities and face-to-face interactions.

I believe that smartphones, when used responsibly, can be powerful educational tools that enhance learning and creativity. Banning them outright in schools could limit students' access to valuable resources and hinder their technological proficiency, which is essential for their future.
