Details

What's often missing in future skills pedagogy is context. We're trying to teach STEM at coding camps and after school robotics clubs and it's not engaging the majority. This is no small problem. Creatable have discovered that industry partnerships are the best way to provide context, helping prepare students with the innovation principles and methodologies that are shaping the future of work. Greg will cast a compelling vision and real life execution of how we can re-engineer the infrastructure of education in the 21st century shifting from institutional based learning to internet based learning in a way that takes an industry-first approach.
