This document discusses ways to inspire the next generation of problem solvers through various classroom activities and tools that promote citizenship, lifelong learning, and student empowerment. It provides examples of using Skype and video messages to connect classes across time zones for collaborative challenges. It also questions how children can learn citizenship and lifelong learning if they are not given agency in their own classrooms, and suggests empowering students by responding to issues with "We should do something about that!"
