RSA Replay Skills Summer – Session 1 – Welcome and Entrepreneurship

(During this live stream, Saul showed a video by Suli Breaks about education. Sadly due to an automated block of that video during the live stream due to copyright issues with the use of music in Suli’s video – we weren’t able to include ‘Why I hate education’ but you can check out that video as well as the rest of Suli’s work here: http://sulibreaks.com/)

As of September 2014, the UK will make computer programming part of its national K-12 curriculum, making it the first G20 country to put coding at the centre of education reform. Inspired by this ambitious policy, international policymakers, business leaders and today’s most exciting education entrepreneurs gather at the RSA to re-imagine “Skills for the 21st Century.”
