SXSW EDU 2019
Making Education Magic for a New Generation
Description:
We all seem to agree that education needs to be more magical. It’s an idea touted by everyone from teaching guru Chris Emdin to Vegas mainstays Penn & Teller. But what does magical education actually look like? Does magic still even resonate with the post-Harry Potter generation, for whom the most magical-seeming technology is commonplace? Kenta Koga, a magician turned education entrepreneur, will share lessons learned from his work creating magical learning experiences from New York to Tokyo.
