Should we rethink the current educator-learner model? How do we create more efficient learning spaces? What does active learning really mean? Too often, we ask big questions in education without bringing together diverse individuals from across the learning space--even students themselves. Come co-design with us through a hands-on experience that will challenge you to re-envision current practices in education while demonstrating the importance of collaborative solution-design. Join for the interactive exercises and engaging discussions. Leave with a set of easy-to-implement tools and an empowered perspective of how to radically improve the dynamics of learning.

a synthesis of the needs of both educators
