My name is Mark Finnern andI am not an educator, but I am fascinated by the opportunities we all have to influence the future. So much so that for over 10 years I am hosting a Future Salon were we come together almost monthly to explore possible futures that work for all. Where we think about what we can do to make them come alive. Thanks for checking this out. I was invited to present my 5 ideas to bring our schools into the 21st Century at the Marin County Fair under the theme of Kids Talks – Welcome to Innovation. I will give some examples of the potential that we all have and especially you kids have. I am addressing you kids as this message if you take it to heart will help you the most.

- Background are Nina’s sketches of the tree house we are planning to built.
- How can we implement these ideas for the 21st century school beginning of the next school year? Let’s take a page from Google 20% projects: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/ee996d5c71a57f74aefb87a68edb95477bdb09d3Give school children room to explore on their own 20% of their time aka every Friday is: Thank God It’s Project Friday. TGIPF day!
- Don’t be frustrated that your school isn’t following the TGIPF principle. Make your own projects. Come home get your home work done and then work on your project(s). Treat school like an artist treats the side job that pays the bills. It is a necessary evil. Totally focus on school while there, but not 1 minute more than needed. Actually bring in as much as you can from your Everyday Project into the school environment. Approach your teachers: Math: I am building a tree house can you cover in your lessons how to calculate how much wood I need? Art: Are we doing sketches this year? Use your tree house sketches. English teacher asks you to write an essay about what you have done during the summer break: Use your blog post about how you built a tree house during the summer.
- What is the greatest gift we can give to the world? Howard Thurman said: Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Becausewhat the world needs is people who have come alive. Schools based on Standardized Tests create standardized People ill equipped for the magical accelerating changing world of today.

- Don’t wait for the school to change. Make change. Treat the precious family time as exploring time. Background picture is self baked bread to remind everyone what a great area of exploring and tinkering the kitchen is. Be active in the community. Create maker spaces.
