The relationship between farmers and the sun just got an upgrade #TEDTalks
Exhausted from carrying water up a hill to keep her small farm in Kenya thriving, Josephine Waweru received an unexpected call that offered a nearly unbelievable solution. She shares how one simple device allowed her crops (and her dreams) to flourish — and offers a glimmer of hope in the face of growing climate uncertainty.

Why the World Is Still Not Built for Women | Virginia Santy | TED
Design consultant Virginia Santy set out to create an office space built specifically for women, flipping the script on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways that workplaces and cities still fail them. The results were striking: greater productivity, deeper collaboration and an environment where women felt genuinely valued, leading her to ask a simple question: What…

Simulators are the best games for education. Had my sons and nephews playing Civilization, SimCity, America’s Army (not Call of Duty) Madden/NBA ( in season mode) consistently. It really paid off.
All kinds of simulations out there, surgical/medical ones are great. It is up to parents as well to guide kids to these products… no age is too young ( playing Civ 3 at age 8).

So… make education addictive?
j/k of course.
It’s all about engagement, for about teachers & students.
I naturally excelled on STEM courses except Biology, which was all latin to me (literally) and nothing else much. But what I remember most 30 years later was History II, thanks to the teacher. He told the history of the late 19th/1st-half of the 20th-century with a PASSION. Turned me into a life-long news & politics reader.

Actually we have a bigger problem to have this technology we literally need to go to nuclear war to maintain it. How’s that for educational purposes.

I can’t tell you how invaluable games like Math Blaster, Mavis Beacon, Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego were in educating me and sharpening my skills as a kid. I just wish those types of games had evolved into a more exciting experience for gen Z kids and younger millennials. Because educational games look lame to the average kid these days.

Set up games that are remote controls to: subs, cave crawlers, boats, drones, etc.
They say we’ve only explored a portion of the ocean, rain forests, cave systems, etc.

I was always looking forward to the computer games, even if it was educational. Lol why not try it? My only fear is, if the kids have to headphones on, we need a way to alert them quietly if something is going on in the school

Learning while Playing.

Specifically for construction trades, if they can gamify Plumbers, Electricians and maybe HVAC… if they can pull that off effectively, then it’s gg, economies will boom again.
If they can make a pathway for Agriculture to not have to be subsidized, but rather allow venues for more farmers… GG, we can have better distribution channels from adding action takers into the mix.

“Clear line of sight to where they are headed.” This is paramount. “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
This is why education fails. If students are being taught something worthless (because they don’t see the big picture), then they are doomed to fail.
You want a student to flourish? Give him the full vision so he can comprehend the scope and fully flesh out his pathway to his future instead of walking a path without faith.
“Everything that is not based on faith is sin.”
You want a student to miss the mark? Teach him without him comprehending what he is putting his faith in.
Best educators guarantee that students visualize. Visualization is paramount else even a Valedictorian will disengage. He may have all the skill in the world, but if he does not envision himself desiring to be a part of the world you are leading him into, he will not follow through and you would have done society a disservice by not guiding talent into their desirable niche.
