Love seeing initiatives like this! Also, how can we help? /JT “The Future of Design Education Initiative is as multifaceted and complicated as the world of education itself, but its mission is clear: to develop a new framework of design curricula for the future…”

“If we want a society of innovators and problem-solvers, we need a system designed around creative thinking, not instructions”
LEGOs are a timeless classic. And the story behind their success has eerie similarities to what's happening in our education system. THREAD: What LEGO kits can teach us about creative thinking 👇🏼

I'm curating a new list of school, tools and orgs that are changing the shape of learning / education. I'd love your help adding to the list, I've been focused on US and England but i'm sure this movement is happening all over!

Creative leaders - where do you go to actively seek grads/ juniors from diverse backgrounds? Asking for a friend. Says he's getting CV's/ books only from 'Harriet and Hugh' so interested in ideas/methods/ resources to balance the books. Thanks!

Heads up I’ve moved my page with techniques and tools for teaching online to my blog. I have too many spaces for publishing. So I am trying to consolidate but also make content more accessible. axbom.com/teaching-online/
