Open & Free: Building Platforms and Partnerships to empower the Glass Generation
It is now 2020, and many of the conversations that we have been having for the past two decades about technology and education, specifically around digital content, are still very much the same. We have not yet hit a tipping point where eLearning is at critical mass, which is extremely troubling since our children are spending half of their waking hours on a digital devices. Join Scott McNealy, Co-Founder and former CEO of Sun Microsystems, and co-founder of Curriki, a champion of Open Source technology and content, for a talk on how to accelerate this tipping point, and truly bring 21st-century skills and engagement to eLearning for all learners.

Disruptive Reconstruction: Making the American Dream Real Again… and for All
Over a 40 year period, the probability of realizing the American Dream - earning more than one’s parents - has declined from a virtual certainty to at best a 50/50 shot. Despite decades of efforts to decrease poverty, increase mobility, and redevelop communities, who your parents are and where you are born are still the biggest predictors of your life chances. These factors combined with the inescapable compounding of wealth and privilege make unsustainable levels of poverty and inequity appear inevitable. But, advances in the science of learning and development combined with new tools, technologies, and approaches to individual and community development can deliver on the promise many feel has never been fully kept.
