Abstract:
We’re in the midst of an era of profound change. Tomorrow’s graduates, by and large, won’t assemble cars; they’ll design the computers that drive them. They’ll be tasked with tackling climate change, food shortages, and inequality. They’ll be asked to solve problems on a global scale - problems for which, unlike on the assembly line, there are no set standards. They’ll need to think critically, work collaboratively, and communicate effectively across countries and cultures. As adults, it’s our responsibility to give every child the tools they need to pursue their passions and meet the demands of the modern world - but no one person or organization can achieve this alone. We believe that doing this calls for a new, more expansive, more connected approach to learning that bridges organizational silos. That is why the Remake Learning network, now 500+ organizations strong from every sector, was formed in 2007. Learn how Pittsburgh has built a connected learning ecosystem around innovation and how other cities can do the same.
