Our thanks to Ilya Zheludev (KES 97-03) for stopping by on a recent trip to the UK from Canada to deliver a brilliant talk to our Sixth Formers. Reflecting on his educational and career journey, before moving on to how AI will change the modern workforce, he offered lots of helpful points for our pupils to be thinking about. Ilya touched on the value of travel in helping to stand out from the crowd, the importance of being productive and the fast pace of technological change since he was at KES. He finished with a challenge to our pupils to build something using AI this academic year - it was a thought provoking hour all round.
