Quotes from Recent ME2050 Conversations
"What does it mean to have a good life? I think my answer comes in two parts. The first is an opportunity for us to figure out ourselves, to explore our own talents, interests, ideas, figure out whether we're musicians, or we're artists, or we're athletes, or we're all of the above. What is it that brings us personal fulfillment? Then, the second part ... is to figure out where to put that in the community to be of some use ... to be a part of something bigger than just ourselves." -Bryan
"There are a large number of students who would really benefit from at least some portion of their traditional high school experience to involve hands-on experiential learning in the real world. That ... is really hard to organize, facilitate, and make happen without very powerful partnerships with the entities and organizations who are going to benefit from that. ... I think extended learning opportunities and apprenticeships are a big part of it. I think ... much more interaction between real-world experiential learning and high school students right now would be very powerful." -Ken
