Over 18 months ago, the DaVinci Institute embarked on a relentless mission to uncover the future of education. Breaking the mold of traditional research, the Institute employed unusual study techniques involving several thousand man-hours of research, expert interviews, focus groups, research teams, “brain tumor sessions”, and lonely walks on the midnight sidewalks thinking about this topic.
“I kept putting myself into the shoes of a student and asking myself the question – What is the most important thing I should learn today?” said Thomas Frey, Senior Futurist and Executive Director of the DaVinci Institute. “And invariably, the material I saw being taught never matched with what I saw myself wanting to learn.”
Insights gained from non-traditional research is what led Frey and the rest of his team to the “eureka moments” pinpointing key inflection points destined to dramatically change the field of education.
“We have identified 12 critical dimensions of the future learning system. However, only the first two need to be in place for the revolution to begin,” says Frey.
The conclusions have been expanded into a 20-page report that will be presented in detail at the March 27th Movers & Shakers event at Phipps Mansion starting at 8:00 am. This event will explain the following:
- The dramatic shift will happen outside our existing education systems sometime within the next two years
- It will be greeted by many with open arms, welcomed by most inside our existing education system, but will eventually cause new systems to develop, and schools as we know them today will cease to exist within ten years. Their replacement will be far better
- This new system will be able to unlock the hidden potential within us, creating a new grade of human beings – human beings 2.0.
- It has the potential to increase the speed of learning ten-fold, and many will be able to complete the entire K-12 curriculum within one year.
- People graduating from the equivalent of high school or college in the future will be a factor of ten times smarter than graduates today
The general public is invited to attend this historic presentation. Cost to attend is $49 and breakfast will be provided. People who wish to register can go to www.davinciinstitute.com or call 303-666-4133.
