How will technology, media and nature affect the way we teach and learn tomorrow? What frameworks can “design thinking” offer for solving our greatest challenges? How do we trigger and harness the energy from the collision of disciplines? If the mind is a muscle, how will technology shape it? How do we prepare 21st century citizens to design game-changing solutions and forge unlikely innovations? If we zero in on how people perceive the world and make meaning in various environments, what difference will it make in education, culture and business?
