We all know the robots are coming. However, there are three very human traits that machines struggle to automate: 1) they don’t have common sense, 2) they don’t understand (or have) empathy, and 3) they can’t match our creative capabilities. Pip Jamieson, founder of 'no-collar' community The Dots (which Forbes described as 'The next LinkedIn?'), will talk about the critical importance of putting Art (i.e creativity/design) back at the heart of technology and education. If we want our children and grandchildren to have jobs, we need to stop obsessing about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) - STEAM is far more important - putting Art at the core of education. Drawing on a wealth of research, analytics and data, Pip will provide ten tips as to how (and what) we need to learn today, to be ready for tomorrow!
