How can design both enter into and perturb a new conversation about education so the system becomes disturbed enough to begin living into their desired future now?'

Design enables us to reclaim spaces and behaviors that may not have been accessible before and redefine who and how we now want to be.
It makes our covenants visible, and it illuminates our beliefs and values. 

Sometimes there are moments in human history that seem to beckon awakenings. They perturb us to reevaluate our beliefs, assumptions, and reigning cultural stories. They challenge us to synthesize and integrate seemingly disparate forms of knowledge into new relationships, new patterns, and new theories. 
It is a time when reality embraces possibility.

my favs from -behind their ideas:
1. A collaborative partnership between diverse stakeholders -- education, science, research, technology, innovation, business, and government.
3. Multi-dimensional admission criteria for identifying STEM talent and potential beyond a standardized test score
9. Commitment to treat each student as if he or she is capable of significantly influencing life on the planet.

if we call it a school, ...spend most of time explaining what we were not instead of what we were. ..would be telling people what we didn't do rather than what we did do.
---laboratory for imagination and inquiry' stimulates questions that enable us to have the conversations we want to have.
