The document discusses two studies that used the game Digital Zoo to teach children engineering and physics concepts. Students were able to answer advanced questions and apply their knowledge to other areas after playing. The game increased their interest in technology. Digital thinking aims to move beyond memorization to applying knowledge in real situations. Simulations allow students to learn through trial and error as they can make mistakes and try again until getting it right, as with SodaConstructor. Computers complement education by teaching innovative thinking skills needed for a globalized world.

IBM envisions the future of workspaces being transformed by cognitive technologies. Cognitive systems can understand vast amounts of data, including unstructured information like language. They learn from each interaction which allows them to develop expertise over time. Cognitive assistants will be able to understand a person's work, offer answers and insights, prioritize tasks, and surface recommendations to help workers be more productive. IBM is developing cognitive solutions like expert advisors and personal assistants to assist with collaboration and tasks in a new cognitive-assisted workspace.

1) Schools are under increasing pressure to improve results as more schools are deemed failing and expectations have been raised. 2) A new OFSTED framework has led to more schools receiving unsatisfactory ratings due to tougher standards around attainment of all students reaching national standards. 3) To truly improve, schools need to focus on developing skills that employers want like literacy, numeracy, ICT skills, teamwork, problem solving rather than just focusing on exams and monitoring current practices. Adopting a competencies-based approach centered around skills can help engage students and better prepare them.

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.
