Dr Lim attended the 14th Annual mEducation Alliance Symposium which was held from 1 – 3 October 2024 in Washington DC. He shared two projects initiated by his students, where the first project was on the use of the Internet of Things in investigating the local microclimate in a school campus, and the second project on the affordances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Mathematics education.
The mEducation Alliance was formed by U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2010. It is an international collaborative effort between bilateral and multilateral donors, NGOs, foundations, private sector partners, and academic researchers. The collective agenda of the alliance is to: highlight and catalyze promising information and communications technology for education (ICT4E) practices and initiatives, particularly in low-resource and developing country context; to reduce duplicative efforts; to promote collective knowledge-sharing, and to identify and support efforts to evaluate and scale promising ICT4E interventions.
