Moonshot Night: The Future of education

Like so many industries in this age of technological acceleration, Education is ripe for disruption. Every aspect of education - from traditional K-12 classes to higher ed, to vocational, and professional development, is experiencing increased pressure to leverage new technologies, and methods, to deliver knowledge and skills more effectively and efficiently in a customizable framework that satisfies the needs of a wildly diverse public.

At our next Moonshot, we will explore The Future of Education, through the lenses of some of Tallahassee’s leading experts. We have invited local leaders in education, from across a wide and diverse spectrum of interests, to share their insights from years of experience, and their dreams for the future of education, with our Moonshot community. Each expert will provide a short 5-minute presentation of their compelling visions for the future of education. The series of presentations will be followed by a Q&A session and stimulating discussion on the topic.
