# The Pedagogy of AI: Agents, Agency, and a World Beyond Coding Tutorials


- **Date:** Thursday, Sep 24, 2026
- **Time:** 13:30–14:00 (30 min)
- **Room:** Stage 5
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

In the era of agentic workflows, when AI can build an MVP in seconds, traditional tutorials are rapidly becoming legacy technical debt. The challenge is no longer just teaching developers how to write code. It’s giving them compelling problems to solve with it.

Enter TwilioWorld. Created by the Twilio Developer Training team, it’s a new approach to developer education, trading the traditional golden path for an open-ended, AI-native playground that uses conversational intelligence at every layer to create an adaptive, engaging, and genuinely educational experience.

Join this session to explore a new pedagogy for the AI era: an approach where developer education isn’t about giving agents more skills, but giving developers a space to put those skills to work.
