David Lee, Technology and Innovation Specialist, Singapore American School We talk STEM education and design thinking in K-12 with David Lee, an alumni of our MS in Educational Technology Program at California State University, Fullerton. David describes the work he does in supporting teachers and students at his school in his role of Technology and Innovation Specialist at the Singapore American School. We discuss with David how he approaches design thinking with K-12 students. Bio. I am currently the elementary Tech and Innovation Specialist at Singapore American School in Singapore. My responsibility at the school is to facilitate educators in integrating STEAM subject areas meaningfully and purposefully into the curriculum to increase learner engagement and achievement, provide learners with real-world experiences, develop their 21st-century skills, promote creativity and innovation, and teach digital literacies. I model/teach the design thinking methodology to students to equip them with a creative, problem-solving toolkit that they use to bring positive change to people's lives. I was also the former elementary STEM Coordinator at Korea International School (KIS) in Seongnam, Korea. As the STEM Coordinator, I contributed to the vision and execution of the school's STEM program (KoLAB), worked collaboratively with all stakeholders (administrators, teachers, students, parents, & community), assisted in the development and delivery of transdisciplinary STEM professional development, and attended grade-levels meetings to move all teachers towards independence in the delivery of transdisciplinary instruction and curriculum. I also created meaningful connections between disciplines, planned and executed opportunities for students to showcase their work within the school and community (i.e. fairs, exhibition, etc.). As the design teacher, I engaged learners through open-ended inquiry-based activities in the KoLAB spaces by modeling and teaching the design thinking process. You can find David online at his website (davidleedtech.org) and on Twitter and Instagram (@davidleeedtech). You can also pick up a copy of David's book on design thinking, which he talks about in the session, at Amazon or wherever you shop for books.

One may think what has IPR to do with Sustainable Fashion. Well, fashion industry is an Intellectual Property (IP) intensive industry, that deals with plenty of creativity in the form of designs, fabric etc. However, historically, the global fashion industry has had to operate in a low-IP protection environment, especially when it comes to designs. Fast fashion has benefitted hugely from the low-IP protection of the industry as it has been rather risk-free to knock-off designs of high fashion or indie brands and make cheap low-quality copies of them. This way, the low-IP protection has played a role in the fashion industry's race-to-the-bottom when it comes to sustainability. Fashion is also one of the most polluting industries globally, thanks to the “fast fashion” phenomenon. Fast fashion brands produce extremely high volumes of trendy garments and sell them for incredibly low prices. However, this comes at a huge cost, especially in the context of human rights abuses and our environment. What is the impact of low IP protection on local and sustainable fashion? How can the IP protection of fashion designs and generally of the industry be improved? What makes fash fashion so dangerous from the human rights perspective? What is the impact of sustainability on the brand value? Find out answers to these and many more interesting questions by listening to Heidi Härkönen, a lawyer and doctoral researcher at the University of Lapland, and Annariina Ruokamo, Research, Development, and Innovation Specialist at LAB University of Applied Sciences and a clothing designer. Let's make fashion sustainable again!

Prateek Sureka is an Innovation Specialist who works in the intersection of policy, technology and innovation, consulting governments to develop Smart Cities of the future and leading teams in the Uk, India, Canada and United States. His vision for the future is to support climate change where we cut out carbon emissions and get rid of economic disparity. We discussed some innovations that incorporate interesting robotics and tech. Singapore, for example, has robotic police, in the form of robotic dogs, created by Boston Dynamics that help to regulate how far apart people are social distancing. A dystopian future is not out of the question with these types of advancements so using caution is more than necessary. Shows like Black Mirror demonstrates how this kind of tech may go awry, though we humans can explore ways to safely incorporate tech into Smart Cities. There is a trade off to living in these kinds of cities since it can be costly. We also discussed data privacy and what people are doing to advocate for policies around security. Some questions we address: What is a Sidewalk Lab? What systems in a smart city will be affected? What training should our youth get now to adapt to the future job market? What has to happen in order to see smart cities as a reality? How long will this take? When will 5g get here and how will it shape the future of tech? What jobs should our youth prepare for?

Today we spoke Steve Gera – Innovation specialist, former NFL coach, CEO Gains Group, Leaders in Sport consultant and former Marine. Steve has an amazing resume, and story in high performance and sports from his start with the Marine Corps post 9/11 - to working in the NFL with the Browns and Chargers -to his sports sabbatical where he gained a depth of experience across different organisations in Europe - such as Chelsea FC, Barcelona FC, Real Madrid, McLaren F1, etc. We open the dialogue with an insight into Steve's life in American football, and what he has taken from this pandemic period. We talk about core strengths and core constraints in sports, innovation - and talent development, amongst other interesting topics. According to Mr Gera..."sports is the most important of the least important things. Let's elevate it". The Los Angeles Dodgers won their first World Series in 32 years this year. Gains Group is part of a new joint venture with the Dodgers and their investment arm Elysian Park Ventures called 'BreakAway', a sport data exchange that creates, collects, and combines club and athlete data to help clubs better understand and position the athletes. This looks like a real game-changer in the world of performance science. Reach out to Steve for more info! Thanks for joining us on our show Steve - it was a pleasure!

This episode is part of the disruption series. We're going to discover how incredible people disrupt their lives, their industries, and the world to create a powerful impact. Don Wettrick is an Innovation Specialist at Noblesville High School and author of Pure Genius: Building a Culture of Innovation and Taking 20% Time to the Next Level. He is disrupting the education system and teaching the next generation of entrepreneurs. Don teaches a class called Innovation and Open-Source Learning. They explore how to network, how to collaborate with intelligent people, how to market, and so much more. Businesses have been launched from his classroom. In one year, four patents were filed. The class has their own methodology. They call it R.O.T.H. I.R.A. Realization – Related to flow states, realization often comes about through movement. They start the school day by walking and talking. Open Discussion – The thoughts generated through realization will fade if they aren't discussed. Tussling – “I love a good fight.” Debate challenges people to think. Homogeneous Grouping – Kids split off to collaborate on the same projects, but coming from different perspectives. Ideation & Prototyping – “We jokingly call this the difference between December 31st and January 15th.” It's fun to brainstorm, but it's hard to actually do it. Reflect – Every project is two weeks, because that gives you enough time to know whether or not you are interested in the subject. Adjustment – This loops back to the ROTH for Realization #2.   Don started the class because he didn't see any passion for learning – or much of anything – in his students. They were being churned through a system that destroyed their interest in learning. Not only is the current educational paradigm passionless, it's just old. As a culture and a society, we are moving exponentially faster outside of education. What did your phone look like five years ago? Vastly different. What did your public high school look like in 1980? Roughly the same.   “Here's the cruel joke we're playing on a lot of our students: we're preparing you for a future that used to exist in 1970.”   Why is education innovating so slowly? We still measure success by test scores. You get into college largely based on your SAT score. They're accepting the kids who are best at not taking risks. We reward memorization far more than creativity. Some teacher unions have pushed back (not all).   Don can't disrupt the entire educational system on his own. If you are a parent, student, or teacher and you want to change something about your local school system, Don will help. You can head to StartEdUpInnovation.com for a podcast, consulting, teacher training, and all the core services necessary to start and strive with new educational initiatives. --   Don't be a podcast junkie… Resources: Connect with Don & his class: https://twitter.com/DonWettrick?lang=en (Twitter) | Facebook Learn more & Listen to the StartEdUp Podcast Pure Genius: Building a Culture of Innovation and Taking 20% Time to the Next Level by Don Wettrick TEDTalk - “The Puzzle of Motivation” by Dan Pink The Art of People by Dave Kerpen -- We are also brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.
