With Sir Ken Robinson

A major highlight of our year!

We had the distinct pleasure to spend quality time with Sir Ken Robinson who was education’s most influential and compelling advocate for innovation and transformation. We are deeply saddened by the news of his passing. He was truly a giant among us mere mortals. We will honor his memory and legacy by taking inspiration from the rich tapestry of work he has left behind.
