How the WOJ WAY Philosophy Can Empower the Next Generation
The world has changed dramatically. The way we communicate is the biggest change for the majority of the world. It has also brought huge changes to the way we learn, the way we are entertained, and the way we travel. The only system that is still unchanged is the way we teach. The lecture based method, and rigid requirements for memorization are still the prevalent methods of education. How do we need to change the education system to meet the needs of the 21st century world? Esther Wojcicki will talk about this topic in her keynote.

How the Culture of School and Community can Empower Kids for Success
The two most impactful groups in a child’s life are the family and the school. Many parents leave the responsibility for educating kids to the school but in fact, these two groups need to collaborate to help the development of a child into a thinking, self confident adult. How can the culture of the school working together with the community maximize the happiness and creativity of the next generation? Esther Wojcicki will talk about ways the culture can support the development of successful adults.
