Reimagining the Classroom as a Space to Practice Being Human (In-Person)
Date
Thursday, July 16, 2026
Time
9:00 AM - 11:00 AM (EDT)
Description

How can we ensure the classrooms of the next decade are spaces students are genuinely excited to be in with one other? In an age of extraordinary disruption and change, we need a third millennium answer to an age-old question: why should students come to school? The "future-proof" classroom won't be defined by technology, but by the quality of human interactions— interactions that build resilient, adaptable, and empathetic thinkers our communities urgently demand. Join a critical conversation about reimagining preK-12 science classrooms as spaces for being human, together, and what it takes to make that happen at scale.
