If you are reading this, then you have been invited to an exclusive conversation with 50 of Grand Rapids’ leaders in business, education, philanthropy, and the civic and political sectors who are ready to explore whether the education system in Michigan is aligned with the outcomes that our economy, society, and world need. And if not, to wrestle through what to do about it.
At Outsmarting the Robots: Redesigning education from the classroom to the halls of Lansing, we invite you to join us in asking: how do we redesign our system for learning what matters to meet the needs of our children, economy, society, and world?
With this event, co-hosted by an exciting collaboration of the Grand Rapids Public Museum, Godfrey-Lee Public Schools, Kent ISD, the Kendall College of Art and Design, the Institute for Excellence in Education, and Michigan Future Inc., we are hoping to spark a new conversation about how to prepare today’s youth for an increasingly uncertain future, and to engender commitment in our community for doing whatever it takes to redesign education for a successful future for all kids.

Normally, conferences provide an agenda so you can review the speaker and panel line-up and decide which to attend. But this isn’t that kind of conference! This is a participatory, immersive experience where the activities will build on each other. We hope that if you register, you can plan to be with us for the entire five hours.
