Are you ready for “augmentation?”

Artificial intelligence is changing the future(and present) of work. It’s no longer sufficient to simply be good at your job, you have to be “Navy SEAL” good. In an era where technology evolves at breakneck speed, the concept of what I refer to as Ta...

I am a child of the 80's and 90's. The bulk of my exposure to STEM came in the form of playtime and via STEM-based stories that fascinated me. I wanted to become an engineer primarily because of these stories (and a healthy dose of fatherly guidance).

No one had to explain to me "what" an engineer does or "how" they do it. I knew because it was acted out in the stories I loved. Not only did they perform (somewhat) realistic scientific/engineering scenarios, they also used the language associated with those roles- the language of STEM.

I'm a huge advocate for STEM learning in the early years.But what's the optimal framework for developing and delivering STEM content to young learners. I'll go more deeply into my STEM learning framework in a future post but to answer this I'll simply start by saying that STEM learning MUST be coupl...

I’ve been thinking a lot about Ikigai (reason for being). It’s a powerful concept that has given me a name for what I’ve, intuitively, been pursuing for the second half of my life. I think I’m there, lol.

Take a look at the diagram. What’s your Ikigai and how close are you to getting there?
