What Is Your Dream Machine?

Whether you're a parent, an educator, or the head of an organisation that wants to hire talent everybody has an interest in education. An inspection of education systems around the globe reveals an outdated two-hundred year old model which no longer serves. Schools operate within the narrow confines of an erroneous understanding of what intelligence and creativity really are. The result is a system which all too often fails to recognise and nourish emerging young talent. Around the world, new education models arise. MyMachine is one such leading example where it allows children to drive their own learning. MyMachine shines in its ability to unite and encourage collaboration among all levels in the educational system. Leading thinkers, along with experts in creativity and education express in this book just how those participating in the MyMachine methodology can change the education system for the better. Sir Ken Robinson Education and creativity expert, one of Time/Fortune/CNN's Principal Voices, acclaimed by Fast Company magazine as one of "the world's elite thinkers on creativity and innovation", holds the most viewed TED-Talk worldwide and author of many New York Times bestsellers: "we need inspirational, practical examples of the vitallty of creativity, the dynamics of collaboration and the power of possibllity. That's exactly what you'll find In this inspiring account of the work of MyMachine." Hank Nourse SVP&Chief Learning Officer at The New York Academy of Sciences, member of IBE-UNESCO's technical working group on Future Competencies and the Future of Curriculum: "by engaging children's Imaginations and encouraging all members of the education community to share in their innocence, curiosity, and capacity to dream, MyMachine has the potential to Inspire a love of learning that will serve participants for life." Tom Vander Ark CEO Getting Smart, author, Forbes contributer, Linkedin Top Voice in Education, first Executive Director Education at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and leading voice in education in the USA: "MyMachine is the kind of methodology that gives young people confidence In complexity, Initiative in opportunity and awareness in diversity."
