STEM Everyday #297 | Surprising STEM | feat. Dan Thomas
Should we teach our kids "21st century skills" or should we rethink what that means and start teaching "workplace durable skills"?
Dan Thomas just retired from a 30+ year career as an educator in New York. He's been a STEM and PBL consultant, and a LEGO education, Makey Makey, and Code.org trainer.
As a teacher, he's sought to revolutionize education through play and technology, believing that learning should be an adventure (with an occasional Dad joke thrown in too).
He recently published his first book, Sir Prise and the Bridge of Ingenuity on XFactor Publishing (find a copy here: amazon.com/dp/B0F625DXYR)
Dan is also the host of The Tech Ed Clubhouse podcast, where he has great conversations about education with a wide variety of guests.
