The Tech Agenda

Code is Policy

A Forum for the Digital Age

Moving beyond the syntax. The Tech Agenda is a MUN-style debate platform where we tackle the ethics, policies, and societal impacts of the technology we build.

The Mission

We are raising a generation of coders, but who is raising the generation of tech policy-makers? The Tech Agenda exists to ensure that the youth have a voice in how technology shapes Nepal and the world. It's not about how to code—it's about what we should code, and why.

Format: The Assembly

Unlike standard webinars, this is an interactive, parliamentary-style forum.

  • The Debate: Participants are assigned positions on controversial topics (e.g., "Should AI Art be Copyrighted?", "Data Privacy vs. National Security").
  • The Resolution: Teams work together to draft "policies" or "manifestos" proposing solutions to these issues.
  • The Experts: We invite industry leaders, lawyers, and ethical hackers to moderate and provide testimony.

Upcoming Topics

  • AI & Employment: Will automation help or hurt the Nepalese job market?
  • The Algorithmic Bias: How code can accidentally discriminate.
  • The Digital Divide: Bridging the gap between urban Kathmandu and rural Nepal.

Why Participate?

  • Public Speaking: Articulate complex technical ideas clearly.
  • Critical Thinking: See both sides of a technological argument.
  • Leadership: Prepare for roles in tech management and policy.
