Education prepares us for the future and the role we will play in it. In this breakout session you will be focusing on education, what education is offering and what you think education should look like.
For example: Do you wish your school had more Advanced Placement classes? More STEM and computer programming classes? What about classes that prepare you for life as an adult teaching you how to balance a budget or run a business? Do you wish your school partnered with community organizations and businesses to give you hands-on learning opportunities to develop real-life skills? Do you have ideas that would improve quality of life for students in your school?
