Panel #1: We Can Win Learning Games!
Games dominate the entertainment mind share of the current generation. Luckily, playing, building, and hacking games can inspire youth to become creators—leading to the development of critical 21st century skills like coding, digital art, project management, and more. How can we harness some of the 10,000 hours that the average kid spends playing video games to teach them?
Panel #2: Bridging Offline Students’ Connectivity Barriers
In the USA there are roughly 15 million students living with unstable internet access or no access at all. That’s a population larger than Los Angeles County. Although a $65 billion broadband-for-all plan is in place, the timeline to reach the last mile is not until 2030. Our offline students can’t afford to wait that long. This presentation will address low-barrier options for students to access carefully curated resources of digital content on their devices – without an internet connection.
