Episode Details

Andy Bell had a life changing event that rocked his world.   And now he's working to change the world of education.  As CEO of Thinkery, Andy shares his vision for revolutionizing education by combining AI technology with joyful learning experiences.

During our conversation you'll learn: 

• how a brain cancer diagnosis gave Bell clarity and urgency about his mission to transform education
• that our traditional education system was designed for industrial era skills, not the critical thinking needed today
• the statistics that show 95% of preschoolers test as creative geniuses while less than 10% of college students do
• how parents can model a growth mindset by learning alongside children 
• about a revolutionary new model that combines formal education with museum experiences 
• how AI can free educators to focus on nurturing creativity instead of delivering content
