Center for the Future of Learning

Want to know what young people are saying about the future of learning?

Meet Omar, one of this summer’s Future Studio fellows. ✨

For Omar, the future of learning is interactive, meaningful and built around caring for every learner. It’s an environment where curiosity is encouraged and learners feel empowered to explore what matters most to them.

Hear Omar’s vision for what’s possible and why youth perspectives deserve a seat at the table. Interested in learning more about CFL? Visit our website for stories and ideas that are shaping the future of learning.

Learning today isn’t just about information, but about how students use and apply it to their day-to-day lives.

In a recent podcast episode, Joe Kennedy connects with Maggie Farrell and Ingrid Ruffin of UNLV Libraries to explore how learning spaces are evolving to support collaboration and hands-on experiences, referencing resources like MakerSpaces and virtual reality classrooms.

The core theme of the episode is that the future of learning isn’t just about tools, but about designing environments where young people can actively create and feel better connected to their learning experiences.

✨ Be yourself. Learn boldly. Grow your way.

When young people have the freedom to explore their passions, ask questions and make mistakes, they build confidence, independence and a stronger connection to their own learning journey.

A few of our Future Studios summer fellows discuss the importance of creating environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Learning should create space for every learner to explore their strengths and feel empowered to be themselves.

Some of our biggest breakthroughs begin with ideas that didn't go as planned. Every setback or unexpected outcome helps shape what comes next.

In a recent conversation between our co-founder and Chief Impact Officer, Jeanine Collins, and Managing Director of Networked Learning, Joe Kennedy, we discussed what happens when we’re willing to share not only our success, but also the moments that challenged us to think differently. Creating space for honest reflection helps all of us grow and build stronger learning experiences together.

Progress isn't about getting everything right the first time. It's about staying curious, learning out loud and having the courage to keep moving forward.

The future belongs to the curious thinkers, creative problem-solvers and lifelong learners.✨

In a recent CFL Podcast episode, our Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer, Jeanine Collins, sat down with Noel Hurst, founder of Republic Goods, to explore why real-world learning experiences matter and how they help young people build the durable skills they'll carry into the future.

When learners have opportunities to explore new ideas and connect learning to the world around them, amazing things can happen.

Today’s young people are growing up in a world that changes by the minute, yet many of our learning systems were designed for a very different time.

Our co-founder and Chief Impact Officer, Jeanine Collins, sits down with Joe Kennedy, Managing Director of Networked Learning, and Kim Izumo, Operations & Impact Manager, to explore what happens when we stop asking students to simply fit into the current system but instead ask how learning can better suit their needs and interests.
