Last week, our colleagues from Macmillan Learning, Springer Nature, Scientific American and Digital Science hosted the first Reimagining Science Education Summit to create space for honest conversations on funding, policy, AI and the future of learning. Take a look at some impressions from the summit below and listen to the newest episode with one of the speakers Jack Brewster for more insights 👇
Congratulations to Susan Elbe and the entire team for pulling off a strong first 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 👏🏼 The day showed that when Macmillan Learning, Springer Nature, and Digital Science team up, deep conversations and diverse perspectives follow. A big thank you to Cecily Mak and Kevin Kelly for an honest panel discussion on funding, investment, and policy. You made moderating easy. A few things that stayed with me: 💸 Educators and founders should connect early, so what gets built actually serves learners. Startup advisory from domain experts shouldn't be a LinkedIn brush-up, but result in a real seat at the table. Sounds obvious, but isn't always the reality. ⛓️💥 The education space needs a revolution, not a slow reform. The room identified many problems. Positively put: lots of room for new ventures to tap into. 🧬 AI democratized the creator space. Now it can do the same for science. Imagine a world where we can all discover new things as we create with GenAI. If only more rooms ran on the genuine curiosity educators brought to this one... Most people in the room want to continue the conversation in person, despite the effort of travel and precious time. That says something about the audience and the quality of the discussion. Incredible work Susan Elbe & team! Susan Winslow Tim Flem Claire F.
