Digital, STEAM and Data-Driven Foundations for Early Learning in Africa (EN)

Thursday, June 4, 2026 16:30 – 17:45

Room: TBA

In early learning, digital tools, data-driven innovations and STEAM approaches are opening new possibilities for strengthening foundational learning. This panel examines models that integrate play, creativity, early coding and robotics, as well as personalised learning pathways to build strong literacy and numeracy foundations. Contributions focus on culturally grounded design, low-resource implementation strategies, and practical ways to ensure digital and AI-enabled tools support, rather than replace, human guidance in early learning.
