Mitch Resnick is the leader of the of MIT’s Media Lab and is the creator of Scratch, a coding platform that has attracted over 65 million users worldwide. This platform has led the way to fascinate users of all ages to learn in an environment where creativity is sparked and collaboration has allowed users from all over the world to connect and share their projects.

Mitch will challenge our thoughts and provide the opportunity to reflect on current teachings as educators and look at how the education systems are not providing the environments for today’s learner to succeed.
