TED Talk & Discussion: Do Schools Kill Creativity?
by Sir Ken Robinson
Sun, Aug 9 @ 6:30 PM
Room D-203/204
We'll watch an outstanding TED talk followed by discussion.
Potluck Snacks: bring a light food/party snack to share if you are able.
This humorous and deeply insightful talk is widely considered a cultural touchstone and remains one of the most-watched TED talks of all time. Robinson argues that creativity is as important as literacy and should be treated with the same status in our education systems. He posits that current models often prioritize academic standardization over the development of creative thinking, which can stifle the natural, divergent talents of children.
Please RSVP so we can prepare accordingly.
