I just watched John Hunter’s TED presentation….So Dang Good! He has his 4th graders solving World Peace in one week! I wrote him to see if the game, played on a 3 dimensional 4’x4′ board game, could be adapted to sustainable neighorhoods. Social, Economic and Ecological sustainability is so complicated, but hey, so is World Peace!
I dream of online and real world tools that give us the ability to redevelop our lifestyle properous, resilient, and sustainable. Wouldn’t it incredible to give our kids that game/modeling tool!!!! The gap between school and the real world can be so great….how can we so such a disfavor?!! It’s a big job, the greatest challenge mankind has ever faced…we need our kids participation and innovation in making sustainable real!
Here’s John’s video.
