Keynote Speaker Announced

Big data, AI, and other technologies allow us to tackle big problems in new ways. As we think about how we best prepare our students for the new workplace, we must consider methods in which we can engage students, enable teachers and harness a new culture of empowerment within schools. Join Phaedra Boinodiris, a member of IBM's Academy of Technology, as she relays lessons learned of how we can harness Play, Tech, Social Impact and Entrepreneurship to Out-Think Old School. The keynote address is Monday, March 12, 2018.
