Podcasts about transforming education

In this compelling episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris engage with Stephanie Palmeri, partner at NextView Ventures, and Caleb Hicks, founder and CEO of School AI, to explore the transformative power of AI in education. Caleb, a former middle school teacher and educational innovator, shares his vision for using AI to create personalized, empathetic learning experiences that address the unique needs of every student, while restoring meaningful human connections in classrooms.Stephanie brings over a decade of experience investing in edtech startups, highlighting the evolution of education technology from the early mobile and tablet era to today's AI-driven wave. She discusses the opportunity for AI to revolutionize both K-12 and higher education, especially in areas like personalized learning, student engagement, and workforce upskilling.Together, they unpack the challenges schools face today, from managing large classrooms and diverse student needs to addressing AI-related concerns like cheating, student privacy, and equity in access. The conversation delves into how AI can be an empowering tool rather than a disruptive force, serving as a tutor, coach, and assistant that enhances critical thinking and individualized instruction.Listeners will gain unique perspectives on why now is the pivotal moment for AI in education, the significant market opportunity in a trillion-dollar industry, and the future of edtech innovation that balances technology with the essential human element of teaching and learning.

Filosofi Sekolah Kreatif adalah gagasan brilian dari Ken Robinson, Ph.D., dalam bukunya yang berjudul "Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That's Transforming Education". Beliau mengajak kita melihat pendidikan bukan sebagai pabrik yang mencetak hasil seragam, tapi sebagai sebuah kebun yang subur. Di sana, setiap anak adalah tanaman unik yang butuh perhatian dan kondisi tepat untuk mekar maksimal. Gagasan utamanya sangat sederhana namun revolusioner: pendidikan sejati adalah tentang memelihara potensi alami setiap individu, bukan memadamkannya. Ini fokus pada pengembangan holistik—intelektual, fisik, sosial, emosional—dan bukan hanya skor ujian. Relevansinya buat dunia sangat besar, karena kita butuh generasi yang adaptif, kreatif, dan kolaboratif untuk menghadapi tantangan global yang makin kompleks.

Now at 25, Hannah leads d'Skills in equipping motivated teens with digital and AI skills, helping them convert these skills into paid, real-world projects with small businesses.
