On Tuesday, October 22, 2024, Harvard Professor Panagiotis Roilos visited our School and spoke to Athens College and Psychico College High School 2 students. His speech took place in the Theater on the topic: "Democracy and education today? On the threshold of the post-human era" and focused on the new era we are currently living in and how rapid technological developments, especially after the emergence of artificial intelligence, affect people, society, and education.
The Professor then took questions from the students.
