Keynote-Dr.+Tim+Tyson

This keynote explores some of the unprecedented changes that have taken place in the last 100 years, including the role of children and the nature of childhood, the transition from an agricultural society to an industrial society to the information age, and the impact of globalization on our lives. With the ever-increasing pace of change, how do we prepare our students not to just be competitive in the job market they will face, but to lead and shape the future? Dr. Tyson makes the case for creating a educational framework that strives to make learning irresistible within the context of contributing our personal best. Can today's children make our world a better place?
