Dr Jamie Dorrington has penned a great article on how Highschools, Further Ed and Universities are not preparing our students for the future of work. Here's an extract - and a link to the full article. Thanks Dr Dorrington. "The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Review to Achieve Educational Excellence in Australian Schools (Gonski et al.), The Foundation for Young Australians New Work Order Reports, as well as reports by the World Economic Forum, Burning Glass Technologies, the Committee for the Economic Development of Australia (CEDA), the Business Council of Australia, McCrindle Research and others, have called upon educators to focus on equipping youth to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities that await them as the fourth industrial revolution gathers pace. These transferable skills are also aligned with the goals in the 2019 Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Educational Declaration, which sets out the common goals for all Australian schools. Our response? We embed them within subject silos and assume they are being developed even though they are not explicitly targeted or measured". https://lnkd.in/gs9_x-_C

Exciting news from FASTLab! Along with a fantastic team, we have installed interactive displays in Penrith Park. These "Pennys" use sound, light and art to promote safety and gather data on public space perceptions. A truly collaborative project, funded by the Transport for NSW’s Smart Cities Innovation Challenge, to empower women and girls in our cities. We brought it to life with very clever people from SAPHI, Name.Narrate.Navigate, Urbis, Peclet Technology, Design Anthology. Special thank you to Penrith City Council for hosting our Pennys.
