We are experiencing the intersection of two megatrends: the rise of artificial intelligence and an emerging climate emergency.

But what will these trends mean for how we educate the next generation? In this talk, we’ll explore how we can develop an A.I.-proof curriculum that can contribute to the flourishing of people and the planet.

What will schools look like in the year 2100? What will the first school on Mars look like? How will genetic engineering impact the capabilities we need? What if we need to prepare our children for a climate catastrophe? Let’s explore scenarios for the future of humanity, and how we will need to reimagine our curriculum to prepare the next generation for a world of uncertainty.

Most of us have been taught to think and learn in subjects and disciplines, but what if we didn't?

After all, it takes an interdisciplinary perspective to tackle most local and global challenges. in this talk, we'll examine how connecting the dots across disciplines can help us progress as individuals, organizations, and societies.

What if learning was not incentivized by test scores and exams, but rather by a desire to better the world? in this talk, we examine the power of challenge-based learning and how it ignites curiosity and empowers learners to become agents of meaningful impact. we’ll look at real examples of schools and universities that have set aside exams for more meaningful incentives of learning.
