[INTRO MUSIC] HOST (Elle Cole):Welcome to the Cleverly Changing Podcast, where we explore the world of homeschooling, parenting, and education. I'm your host, Elle Cole, and today we're diving into the fascinating realm of artificial intelligence in homeschooling.HOST (Elle Cole):Artificial intelligence, or AI, isn't just about robots and sci-fi movies. It's a powerful tool that can enrich our children's education in remarkable ways. We shouldn't be afraid of technology. It is a tool that we should learn how to use responsibly, and the lessons around technology should be taught in an educational setting or within the homeschool setting. Today, I'll be sharing practical ways families can integrate AI into their homeschool curriculum.I believe learning is about going on a knowledge adventure. STEM is huge in schools and today's job markets, so our children should be early adopters of how to train machines/computers intelligently.HOST (Elle Cole):Let's start with something fundamental—reading. AI-powered reading apps like Lexia Core5 or Epic! Books offer personalized learning paths. They adapt to a student's reading level, providing targeted activities to improve comprehension and vocabulary.SCENARIO 1: MORNING ROUTINEHOST (Elle Cole):Imagine this: It's the start of a homeschool day. You're gathered around the kitchen table, ready to dive into your lessons. But before you begin, why not start with an AI-powered news aggregator like Newsela? This tool provides tailored news articles suitable for different reading levels.HOST (Elle Cole):Next, you can select articles relevant to your curriculum, whether it's history, science, or current events. It's an excellent way to spark discussions and encourage critical thinking while keeping your kids informed about the world.SCENARIO 2: STEM ACTIVITIESHOST (Elle Cole):For those science and tech enthusiasts, AI can be a game-changer. Have you heard of DIY projects like building a voice-controlled robot or coding with Scratch? These hands-on activities engage kids in the basics of AI and coding.HOST (Elle Cole):Platforms like Scratch offer a user-friendly interface that lets kids create animations, games, and interactive stories using coding blocks. It's a fantastic way to introduce programming concepts while fostering creativity.SCENARIO 3: PERSONALIZED LEARNINGHOST (Elle Cole):One of the most remarkable aspects of AI in education is its ability to personalize learning experiences, which should be right in line with homeschoolers self-directed philosophies. Tools like Khan Academy or Coursera leverage AI algorithms to adapt content based on a child's progress.HOST (Elle Cole):So, whether your child excels in math or needs extra help with grammar, these platforms adjust the difficulty level in real time. It's like having a personal tutor catering to each child's unique learning pace.SCENARIO 4: ART AND AIHOST (Elle Cole):When it comes to art, AI isn't just about algorithms. Tools like Google's AutoDraw or Adobe's Sensei can assist budding artists. They provide suggestions and corrections while sketching or designing, making the creative process more intuitive and enjoyable.SCENARIO 5: MATH & SCIENCE EXPLORATIONHOST (Elle Cole):Now, let's venture into the realms of math and science. AI-powered math platforms like Photomath (which we missed during season 2) or Wolfram Alpha can be incredible aids. They help solve complex equations and offer step-by-step explanations, turning math problem-solving into an interactive experience. These tools can be especially helpful to parents needing a refresher to remind them how to do complex math problems. I used to watch how-to math videos on Youtube, workout the problem, and then use Photomath to ensure my answer and process were correct.HOST (Elle Cole):In science, AI simulators and software like Algodoo or Labster simulate experiments. They allow students to conduct virtual lab experiments, explore scientific theories, and understand concepts like never before. These tools can help level the playing field and save homeschool families money.SCENARIO 6: SOCIAL STUDIES & WORLD HISTORYHOST (Elle Cole):Moving on to social studies and world history, AI-powered resources such as Google Earth and Timeline JS provide immersive experiences. Students can virtually explore historical sites, trace timelines, and understand global events in a more engaging manner.SCENARIO 7: LANGUAGE LEARNING & RELIGIOUS STUDIESHOST (Elle Cole):For language learning and religious studies, AI language apps like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone aid in learning foreign languages. They adapt to individual progress, making language acquisition interactive and fun.[Sound Effect: Reading religious texts]HOST (Elle Cole):Additionally, AI text analysis tools can help students delve deeper into religious texts. They provide insights, interpretations, and summaries, aiding in a comprehensive understanding.HOMESCHOOLING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EPISODE SUMMARYHOST (Elle Cole):Incorporating artificial intelligence into your homeschool curriculum isn't about replacing traditional teaching methods. It's about enhancing learning experiences, fostering curiosity, and preparing our kids for a tech-driven future. The possibilities of incorporating AI into our core subjects for middle and high school students are extensive. It's also about using technology as a tool to enhance learning, encourage exploration, and cultivate a deeper understanding of various subjects.[Sound Effect: Outro music begins]HOST (Elle Cole):That's all for today's episode. Thank you for joining me on the Cleverly Changing Podcast. Don't forget to visit our website CleverlyChanging.com for additional resources and join the conversation on our social media platforms. Until next time, keep learning and exploring. Goodbye![OUTRO MUSIC FADES IN][END OF EPISODE] ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ever since former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Mary Jo White announced the Silicon Valley Initiative, we have seen the enforcement division moving into the private company sphere. Major compliance and governance failures, such as Theranos, FTX, and IRL, have put the spotlight on what is communicated internally and externally in employee, customer, and investor communications. In fiscal year 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched 760 total enforcement actions, including hundreds of stand-alone, follow-on, and individual actions running the gamut from failures of conduct to “first-of-their-kind” to cases charging trading securities law violations. Money ordered in SEC actions comprised over $6 billion, almost doubling the prior year's amount.What is the role of the compliance function in the pre-initial public offering company, and who owns it, how do you get started, and when do you start deploying resources? When the government or a plaintiff comes knocking on the door, what is the role of directors in managing the response? The panel explores what the role of the compliance function is and why directors should care.The NACD Private Company Compliance: Investigations, Regulations, and Litigation Webinar was sponsored by Foley and Partners Louis Lehot and Thomas Carlucci joined this discussion together with:* Claudia Fan Munce - Venture Advisor NEA, Board Member of Best Buy, Arteris.IP, BMO Financial Corp., Faculty at Stanford University Graduate School of Business* Scott Kupor - Managing Partner, Andreessen Horowitz; Lecturer, Stanford University Graduate School of Business; Board Director, Cedar, Headway, Pearl Health, Ultima Genomics, Foursquare, Labster, Journera, SnapLogic, MIO Partners, The Global Impact Investing Network, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Genesys Works* Jeff Thomas - Executive Vice President, Corporate Platforms, Nasdaq, Inc.

In der Nachmittagsfolge begrüßen wir heute in der Rubrik „VC Talk“ Fabian Heilemann, Co-Founder und CEO von Aenu. Aenu ist ein Impact Fund, der in nachhaltige Climate-Techs und Social Impact Startups in Europa und den USA investiert. Ziel des VCs ist es, einen systemischen Wandel im Bereich der Risikokapitalgesellschaften zu erreichen, indem sie vormachen, in sinnstiftende Unternehmen zu investieren, die eine positive Wirkung haben und gleichzeitig hohe Renditen im oberen Quartil erreichen. Aenu wurde im Jahr 2022 von den Brüdern Ferry Heilemann und Fabian Heilemann in Berlin gegründet. Die Gründung fand im Rahmen der Umwandlung des Investment Family Offices Pirate Impact statt, welches von den Gebrüdern Heilemann im Jahr 2016 gegründet wurde. In der Vergangenheit haben die beiden Founder auch bereits die Gutscheinplattform Dailydeal ins Leben gerufen und u.a. an Google verkauft. Das 12-köpfige Team des Risikokapitalgebers wird von strategischen Advisors unterstützt. Dazu zählen namentlich u.a. Verena Pausder, Prof. Dr. Burkhard Schwenker, Dr. h. c. Beate Heraeus, Professor Dr. Ottmar Edenhofer, Prof. Dr. Dennis Snower, Friederike von Waldenfels und David Goldberg. Aenu hat nun seinen ersten Evergreen Impact Tech Fund mit einem Startvolumen von 100 Millionen Euro lanciert. Er konzentriert sich auf langfristige Investitionen in Unternehmen mit Sitz in der EU und den USA, die zur Lösung der Klimakrise und zur Förderung der sozialen Gleichheit beitragen. Dafür setzt der Fonds strenge wissenschaftliche Nachhaltigkeitskriterien an, die von seinem internen Impact-Team festgelegt werden. So sollen Technologien unterstützt werden, die das Potenzial haben, in einem großen Maßstab CO2 vermeiden oder beseitigen bzw. alternativ die Lebensqualität von Millionen von Menschen erheblich verbessern zu können. Der Fonds soll Unternehmen in jeder Wachstumsphase mit Beträgen zwischen 500.000 Euro und 5 Millionen Euro unterstützen. Das erste Closing des Fonds war zu 60 % überzeichnet. Es konnten bisher nur befreundete Investoren und Unternehmen auf Einladungsbasis teilnehmen. Dazu gehören das Hamburger Family Office E.R. Capital, Unicorn-CEOs wie Lawrence Leuschner, Michael Wax und Niklas Zenstrom, sowie eine Reihe weiterer deutscher Family Offices. Die beiden Gründer haben zudem selbst in den Fonds investiert. In den kommenden Quartalen wird dieser schrittweise für den breiteren Markt geöffnet. Bis 2026 ist ein verwaltetes Kapital von über 500 Millionen Euro geplant. Das bereits bestehende Portfolio besteht u.a. aus Heirloom, Labster, Monta, Next Gen Foods und XFuel. One more thing wird präsentiert von OMR Reviews – Finde die richtige Software für Dein Business.

Michael Bodekaer Jensen, Founder and CEO at Labster, joins the podcast to talk about virtual lab simulations and the academic outcomes of bringing the metaverse to the higher ed classroom.
On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, our guest is Roxana Dobrescu, Vice President- People and Culture at Labster, a visual learning platform providing virtual science education.With more than 16 years of working across functions like recruiting, organizational development, people and culture, Roxana believes in humanized companies with core values of openness, trust, generosity and courage.With a background that extensive, it is no surprise this episode covers a lot of ground:How to create a culture of transparency and openness at your organizationBenefits of visual learning over traditional learning styleDiversity hiring strategiesTop challenges of diversity in the workplaceThe blend between online and offline learning: Labster's mission is to not replace teaching or the happening of the classrooms. They consider it important and are willing to improve it through their services. It is impossible to customize learning considering every single student. Hence, they are supporting teachers by ensuring a 360-degree approach to scientific learning. The productivity has increased by three times. Roxana feels that it is just the beginning of the blend between online and offline learning.People managers create a culture of being open:Creating a culture of openness revolves around creating a culture of trust. Thus an organization needs to build a trustworthy and open culture. Labster maintains an open mind and shared accountability. To build trust, leaders need to show it first. Roxana further talks about transparency and how it ensures a clear purpose and decision-making process. “To build trust in a team, be part of the team.”- that is how Roxana looks at leadership.Continuous learning culture in an organization:Building a continuous learning culture is one of Roxana's missions. She considers it as the only way to grow. There are plenty of extremely talented people who get comfortable with their roles and do not feel the need to learn. Hence, the company must focus on regularly updating these people with skills and trends. Moreover, Roxana throws light on the need for an efficient feedback process. Humans tend to give positive feedback, but they cannot give constructive feedback. Thus Labster trains its employees for sending and receiving effective feedback. Leaders also must ensure good feedback. They should ensure effective learning, sharing of best practices, creating focus groups, have research meetings, and other such practices. The company needs to make time for its team members.Maintaining diversity in the hiring process: Diversity and Inclusion should be ingrained in the company strategy rather than the HR strategy. In Roxana's company, the hiring process revolves around ‘culture add' and not ‘culture fit.' They assess if every candidate is adding value to the company in terms of skills, attitudes, experience, and outlooks. Each team member needs to be learning from the other. In addition, people need to train themselves to avoid bias. Labster holds a diverse interview committee with interviewers from different backgrounds.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast (now on Twitter!), where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.What happens when the entire podcast crew is a bit tired from, you know, everything, and does its very best? This episode, apparently. A big thanks to Chris Gates for helping us trim the fat and make something good for you.Before we get into the topics of the week, don't forget that Equity is not back on YouTube most weeks, so if you wanted to see us do the talking with some fun extra from the production team, you can do so here. More to come once I get my new external camera to work.That done, here's what Natasha and Danny and I got into this week:The public markets are afire these days with Apple reaching $2 trillion in market cap, and Tesla's stock doing all sorts of odd things. In short, stocks have only gone up for a while and that means that there's warm, nigh-stuffy temperatures around assets of all types.This is leading to a surge in liquidity, unsurprisingly, as asset managers of all types look to take advantage of the times. So, Asana is prepping a direct listing, Airbnb has filed privately, And ThredUp is eyeing an early-2021 IPO. Around the same time as Coinbase, we'd reckon.Airbnb banned parties as well, which wound up being the title of the show.And SPACs are still happening in rapid-fire fashion. The Equity crew is not super impressed about the whole affair, but I'll say that with Paul "Fucking" Ryan involved, it's probably a sign of the top.And capping the liquidity chat, Natasha ran us through what Chamath is up to now, and Danny rabbited on about Kabbage.Funding rounds! Welcome raised a $1.4 million check that I covered, Labster raised $9 million that Natasha wrote about, Carrot Fertility picked up $24 million that we all thought was pretty smart, and our friends at Crunchbase News wrote about PadSplit, which is honestly neat but we ran low on time after spending too much time on SPACs. Check them out here.Whew! We're doing a lot over at TechCrunch.com, so, stay tuned and know that if we were a bit frazzled this week it's because we're working our backends off to bring you neat things. You will dig 'em.Ok, chat Monday, a show that we're already planning. Stay cool!

Labster CEO Michael Jensen was on XR for Learning not-too-long ago, talking about how XR can teach kids science in the classroom. Now he explains to Alan how that same technology is making professional training safer and more cost-effective. Alan: Hey, everyone. Alan Smithson here. Today we're speaking with Michael Jensen, CEO of Labster, a venture backed, award winning company that focuses on revolutionizing the way science and safety is taught at companies, universities, colleges, and high schools all over the world. They started with creating multimillion dollar science labs in a VR headset. And now they're ready to take on the enterprise training world. All that and more, coming up next on the XR for Business podcast. Michael, welcome to the show. Michael: Hey, Alan, thanks so much, honored to be here. Alan: It's my absolute pleasure to have you. I know you were on my partner and wife Julie's podcast, XR for Learning. And I learned all about how Labster is revolutionizing how we teach science, and making it more exciting, gamified, but also bringing the opportunity to create multi-million dollar science labs for the cost of a cup of coffee. So let's unpack that. Michael, how did you get into this? Michael: Yeah, so that actually started about nine years ago, when my co-founder and I saw an opportunity to create much more engaging online learning content for students and learners around the world. Basically, most people were learning in very boring, non-engaging formats as we saw it. And at the same time, we saw these billions of dollars being invested into the gaming industry to create really engaging games. And we thought, why not find a way to combine and merge the learning world and the gaming world in a more engaging way, so that we can engage learners in the content, make them more excited about the topics, but also use these mechanisms to help them understand some of these more complex concepts in a much better way. Alan: Walk people through what a typical Labster lab looks like, and why this is exciting. Michael: There's two main components that we really looked at. One is engagement -- as I just talked about -- and the other one is timesaving, cost savings. And so what we looked at was, how can we best address some of the biggest challenges in the industry by presently creating virtual training -- similar to a flight simulator that was revolutionizing pilot training -- and then create, for instance, virtual laboratories to simulate dangerous experiments or dangerous scenarios -- like safety training -- and then that way help the universities, in our case as well as high schools -- but now also corporates -- dramatically reduce their cost and saving, as well as the time spent on this training. And we did a huge research project now -- about two years ago -- a $6-million research project involving hundreds and hundreds of employees around the world in large pharma companies, to really analyze and understand, does this really help? Is there a way for us to create better, more engaging content? And if so, does that really help students or learners understand it better? And does it also help save costs? And the results were quite overwhelmingly positive, was published and peer reviewed -- among others -- in Nature magazine, where we saw more than a doubling of the learning outcomes, as well as engagement for learners, compared to -- for instance -- standard online e-learning training, or even personal one-on-one training. So even compared to a personal one-on-one trainer, we found that this virtual immersive training format can be far superior, both in costs, as

And we thought, why not find a way to combine and merge the learning world and the gaming world in a more engaging way, so that we can engage learners in the content, make them more excited about the topics, but also use these mechanisms to help them understand some of these more complex concepts in a much better way. Alan: Walk people through what a typical Labster lab looks like, and why this is exciting. Michael: There's two main components that we really looked at. One is engagement -- as I just talked about -- and the other one is timesaving, cost savings. And so what we looked at was, how can we best address some of the biggest challenges in the industry by presently creating virtual training -- similar to a flight simulator that was revolutionizing pilot training -- and then create, for instance, virtual laboratories to simulate dangerous experiments or dangerous scenarios -- like safety training -- and then that way help the universities, in our case as well as high schools -- but now also corporates -- dramatically reduce their cost and saving, as well as the time spent on this training. And we did a huge research project now -- about two years ago -- a $6-million research project involving hundreds and hundreds of employees around the world in large pharma companies, to really analyze and understand, does this really help? Is there a way for us to create better, more engaging content? And if so, does that really help students or learners understand it better? And does it also help save costs? And the results were quite overwhelmingly positive, was published and peer reviewed -- among others -- in Nature magazine, where we saw more than a doubling of the learning outcomes, as well as engagement for learners, compared to -- for instance -- standard online e-learning training, or even personal one-on-one training. So even compared to a personal one-on-one trainer, we found that this virtual immersive training format can be far superior, both in costs, as
Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This week the Key Three were back with Danny Crichton, Natasha Mascarenhas, and Alex Wilhelm taking on the news while Chris Gates kept everything perfect.Alex apologizes for the math error you'll hear, naturally. 36 divided by four, is, of course, nine.Turning to the show, as has been the case every single week since we cannot recall when, we had a hell of a packed agenda.; there were new funds to talk about, there were rounds aplenty. As the unicorn era hands the baton to the COVID-19 downturn, there still more than we can get through each week.But we did manage all that follows:Lightspeed raised a host of new funds worth billions of dollars, including $1.83 billion in capital for later-stage deals and $1.5 billion to pour more capital into its international investments.Andreessen Horowitz wants to put together a second crypto-focused fund worth $450 million. That's more than last time, and we had questions.Corigin Ventures raised its first institutional fund at $36 million, effectively stepping out of complete control from its parent organization, Corigin Real Estate.Stripe raised $600 million more, at a flat valuation to its preceding round. The payments company is now worth around $36 billion. The news dropped out of nowhere, and probably means that the eventual Stripe IPO is far, far away.Robinhood isCarta, which helps manage equity for startups, laid off 16 percent of its staff as detailed in an emotional memo by the company's CEO Henry Ward. Then, the plot thickened when news broke that it's raising a new round of funding that would value it at $3 billion.Lucid and Everee, two Utah-based companies raised capital this week, right after we saw Podium raise the week before. $52 million for Lucid, makers of Lucidchart, and $10 million fo Everee, a payroll software startup with a fun twist.But we weren't done yet, as we had to talk about Airbnb's new debt work; Danny made the point that it's hardly cheap capital for the firm to raise, possibly adding pressure to Airbnb later on. This is another company that will not go public in 2020.Savi raised $6 million to help students pay student loans, while Frank raised $5 million to help students avoid racking them up.Despite tight school budgets, Labster landed a deal with the California Community Colleges which tells us a bit about how edtech optimism is turning into actual dollars.And, breathing out, that was the show. Thanks for sticking with us through the pandemic and not having a commute. It's a treat to have you here.

Labster is a company that is trying to change science education and the way people engage with it, hoping to empower the next generation of scientists to change the world. With 70 virtual reality simulations already running on the Labster platform, users can choose from a variety of scenarios to enter, each of which heavily engages the student in every step of an experiment or project.“Not everyone has access to a lab, but in this way, we bring it to the student's lap,” says Maaroof Fakhri, who works as a project lead in the virtual reality section of Labster. Designed primarily for students in grades K-12, the most popular modules are those covering material that helps students transfer from late high school to early college, and are frequently used by teachers and universities to help students review certain material. Studies show that when compared to traditional methods of learning, the use of Labster simulations resulted in a 76% increase in learning.

In September, the 10K crew went on location to the 2017 Ontario Universities’ Fair, to interview a dozen higher ed leaders about trends in innovation. Catherine Newell Kelly was appointed Registrar at the University of Waterloo just a month before this interview, after serving for two decades as Director of Waterloo’s Centre for Extended Learning, as well as stints as Executive Director of eCampus Ontario and President of CAUCE and OCULL. In this special bonus episode, edited to 7 minutes, Ken asks Cathy 3 key questions. Innovations at Waterloo? Cathy emphasizes Waterloo’s liberal intellectual property policies, and its roots in co-operative education, and its co-op program has grown to be the largest in Canada, with students earning $253 million a year. Waterloo is pushing the envelope to make experiential learning more flexible, like the EDGE experiential learning certificate program for non-co-op students. Waterloo’s Velocity is the largest free start-up incubator in the world. After 50 years in online learning, Waterloo is exploring Labster and Riipen to bring laboratory and co-op work experiences to online students. The Decade Ahead? Cathy predicts that university-business partnerships will become much more important, with the government’s emphasis on work-integrated learning. Transformative research, which changes what we know, will grow, and interdisciplinarity will continue to drive research and teaching. Universities will also need to enhance the flexibility of program delivery and structure for adult learners and working students. Culture of Innovation? Cathy believes that senior leadership has to foster a culture of entrepreneurship on campus, in which students, staff and faculty feel safe enough to take strategic risks.
