Ours is an age of ubiquitous, multidisciplinary, exponentially-growing and free-for-all knowledge, resulting in extreme global expansion and change in the use of time, space, resources and interaction. Yet we still demand our children to develop old-world skills in a highly outdated system. The roles and goals of education call for rerouting. As the second decade of the 21st century approaches its end, we can no longer afford to merely change our schoolbooks, add more teachers and resources or update our technologies. There is no other choice: The system isn't looking forward to reform. It's setting it's eyes on a revolution. About the speaker: Liat is an outstanding and experienced speaker, highly professional in the field of education in general, and excellence in STEAM in particular, areas in which she has developed unique and specific models that are implemented throughout Israel.
