Seed + Spark: Using Nature As A Model To Reimagine How We Learn & Live
Following a two-year design expedition in search of the irreducible DNA of a healthy learning environment, panelists Sam Chaltain, Stephanie Pace-Marshall and Trung Le produced Seed + Spark, a highly visual, deeply eclectic book that takes its readers in search of a better understanding of the future of learning -- and, by extension, the future of humanity.
Believing “the future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed,” Seed + Spark provides a framework for remaking our schools, our workspaces, and our social structures in ways that align with the design principles of the natural world. Join us on January 27th to discuss this provocative series of interviews, profiles, and case studies in which sacred cows are slaughtered, parallel worlds collide, and our basic understanding of the world is forever altered.
