About

Welcome to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization sessions of the Schoolhouse Model United Nations 2026!
﻿
Schoolhouse MUN is an online Model United Nations event organized by a team of volunteers from schoolhouse.world. Delegates will have the opportunity to represent different countries in five distinct committees of the United Nations. This experience will enhance their understanding of current world issues and improve their public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills.
﻿
Agenda: Addressing the Global Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Employment and Education 
Formulating a unified global strategy to manage the implications of artificial intelligence for the workforce and learning institutions
﻿
Chairs: Hafsah M and Sarah W
﻿
Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
1956: the year Artificial Intelligence is born, in a workshop at Dartmouth. Fast forward to the 2020s, where unprecedented growth is now being made in the field, from the launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI leading to frequent AI usage in daily life to the development of generative AI technologies that can create images indistinguishable from real life.
Naturally, AI has rapidly emerged as one of the most pressing topics discussed on the global stage. AI has the ability to reshape everything around us — economies, societies and our whole world. In the UNESCO committee, we will assess two of the aspects that AI has the potential to severely impact (and in fact, has already been impacting) — employment and education. We will discuss how AI has been affecting and reshaping global employment access - is it leading to unemployment crises or generating more jobs? And education - we’ll consider questions such as how AI should be used in education, and how it is currently impacting students’ academic lives.
Ultimately, AI is a tool whose impact depends on the way it’s used. If wielded properly, it can lead to great strides made in society; on the other hand, if it isn’t, the downsides can vastly outweigh the positives, potentially leading to massive upheaval in various sectors. Thus, it is up to you, dear delegate, to explore this important subject and create frameworks that properly regulate AI.
Action must be taken - not in the future, but now, in the present. Delegates, are you ready to tackle this topic before it’s too late?

Hey everyone! I am Hafsah, a high school junior from India, taking advanced-level coursework in school. I'm really passionate about anything related to cognitive science, math, CS, philosophy and linguistics. In my free time, I love to read, ski, research on random topics that catch my interest, do some cooking and learn new languages. I'm also a huge speech and debate enthusiast - I started participating in 4th grade and have never stopped since! I've taken the Digital SAT, with a superscore of 1530 (750 R&W, 780 Math). I'd be happy to help out with anything related to Math (from Pre-Algebra to Calculus), Science, Computer Science or SAT Prep. Excited to be a tutor here at schoolhouse, and I look forward to seeing you in my sessions!

Hey there, I'm Sarah!! I'm certified in most topics on Schoolhouse, but I'm especially experienced with SAT RW and Math, Calculus (I scored a 5 on the AP Calc BC exam and am currently taking Multivariable Calculus), and Algebra 2. I also chaired for the last two Schoolhouse MUNs! I'm a high school senior in Tennessee, and I love music. I play both the piano and the violin, but I also love listening to a wide array of music (some of my favorites are More by Carly Rae Jepsen and SOS by Balming Tiger). I'm also passionate about figure skating, fashion, the environment, math, and law, to name a few.
