Presentations and keynotes (videos)

This was the opening keynote for the 2019 FabLearn conference at Columbia University Teachers College. It was an unusual keynote for this special audience, with a lot of detail about the role of Seymour Papert and his powerful ideas of “objects to think with” and constructionism. It was also a call for the education community to take back the idea of “Making” as a pedagogy, not as a VC funded brand identity. The video does not capture all the slides, so some of it is a bit hard to follow. I plan to add the slides soon.
