The Learning Future Podcast with Louka Parry

Why do some students have such few hopes for the future where others do, when both have the same potentials and opportunities? What are some revolutionary, brave, and ingenious developments of technology design in education?

Lasse Leponiemi is a co-founder and executive director at HundrED, https://hundred.org/ a mission-driven organisation focusing on identifying, amplifying and implementing education innovations.
