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 codeāit'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.
