What Young People Wish Adults Knew About School: An “Unpanel"

Description:

Young people are the most directly impacted but least engaged stakeholder in their education. What do young people wish that adult innovators and decision makers knew about what it means to be a student today? Bring your authentic questions about the themes & challenges that make designing for young people hard. This workshop will offer insights and perspective about what is really on the hearts and minds of students as well as a chance to connect with young people.
