 To find the cause & than a cure
 How, when and is it possible?
 To find the courage to begin
 The steps needed to move from here
 And 3 years later to be standing there
Sarah in Australia:
The Climb for Hope - 1991
Mount Everest Expedition
Mount Everest – 8848 m or 29,028 feet
What is “The Climb for Hope” ?
– 1991 Mount Everest Expedition
 When you climb 1 mountain you will
find all the other ones are not as high
If the mountain is to BIG break it
down into smaller stones!
National ‘Everfitness’ Board Game Celebrities

6 - Foundational Steps for Empowerment
Parents lay the foundations for success!
KNOWLEDGE for Empowerment
Growth through transformation of
“information into Knowledge” (iiK)
There are four main steps to learning:
1. Data – seeing patterns, hearing, guessing
2. Information- know vs don’t know
3. Knowledge
4. Creativity
*Entrepreneurship
Educators - Teachers
WHAT’S AN ENTREPRENEUR?
What is DATA ?
BIG into small
small Into BIG
3.4 Exabyte(16) of data is generated every day
This is the amount of data in a stack of CDs from
Earth to the Moon and back - every day!
Cognition and eLearning Gamification
A human brain can store ~ Petabyte(15)
Instructivism vs. Constructivism?
Remember what I told you What do you know?
A teacher from 1916 can still teach instructivism today!
Turning Information into Knowledge = iiK
15,400 hours personal investment (K-12)
13.9 Million grade from K to 12 student = Kenya Future Productivity
SYNTALITY™
 Rongbuk Monastery Monks using Cadence
 How do people learn?
 Syntality = “An holistic approach to
Accelerated Learning by actively doing!”
(Active vs Passive (Rote) learning
 Classroom training
 300% faster with 80% or better retention
 Canadian National Research Council
 Developed an AI engine for accelerated
eLearning gamification of any content in
Real-Time
 1 Billion students and 300 Million DO NOT finish high school!
 1 Billion people studying English and it takes at least 300 hours to learn 1 level? Canadian
Language Benchmark has 12 levels!
 3.9 Billion Service/Industry workers and ~0.5 Billion unemployed?
 People will average 10.8 different jobs in their lifetime!
 Imagine if each person had their own personalized Artificial Intelligent Engine that enables
them to handle this onslaught of information; whether in school, office or life: 32% better, 3
times faster with 80% retention over traditional learning methods!
 Gamification taps into people's natural desires for Competition, Achievement,
Status, Community Collaboration, and many more.
WHY THE NEED FOR GAMIFICATION?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Gamification Generator
Features: Users can simply import, in various formats (i.e. word document, RTF,
html, etc) textual content they want or need to learn and the Gamification Knowledge
Generator™ application tools will automatically create interactive subject based
learning or skills training lessons, tests and subsequently, scores and marks all in real-
time. From 1 page of content over 1000 different exercises will be generated.

Editor's Notes

  1. Knowledge = empowerment; Growth = confidence; Mobility = transformation of knowledge – creativity
  2. Show example of a piece of stone I picked up at Mt. Everest.
  3. Everest 8848 m/29029 ft; Kilimanjaro 5895m/19341ft.
  4. Kenya Govt web site encourages entrepreneurship – Time mgmt., Pareto Rule, Sales
  5. Int’l Space Station ~330 Km (220 Mi) above earth at 27.7 Km (17.2 Mi) per hr and 15.7 trips per day.
  6. Exabyte=10(16) The human brain can store about a Petabyte =10(15) of data Zettrabyte=10(17) & in 2008 Americans consumed 3.6ZB of info
  7. Instructivism is direct instruction by a teacher employing objectives and lesson plans related to an overall curriculum guide in order to teach specific content, customarily using the lecture method. Knowledge is in possession of the teacher. There is explicit teaching of an agreed body of knowledge. Implications for planning and teaching The teacher organises learning objectives and content beforehand. Material and skills are predetermined and defined in advance of learning Material is delivered by the teacher, skills and material are learnt by the student Students are assessed by their ability to remember the material or practise the skill
