Join the School of Collectively Building (SOCB) for the SOCB International Conference, a virtual gathering of educators, researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers from around the globe.
The theme: Technology, AI, Robotics, Green Infrastructure, and 3D Printing in a Changing World reflects the urgent need to balance innovation with sustainability. We will examine the role of artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital tools in transforming education and professional practice, alongside the growing importance of green infrastructure in building resilient communities. This conference invites critical reflection on key questions, including:
Is technology enhancing or overwhelming education?
How are AI and robotics reshaping teaching and learning?
Can professional practices keep pace with technological and environmental change?
Are innovations in education and practice truly advancing our goals?
