    Words That Work: A Workshop With Frank Luntz

    Frank Luntz, Frank Fenwick, Heather, Ken Gilroy, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, James, Martin

    Political consultant Frank Luntz argues that escalating polarization has transformed American discourse into aggressive monologues, prompting a strategic pivot toward specific linguistic shifts designed to rebuild trust and bridge ideological divides. He details a revised political lexicon that replaces divisive terminology like "capitalism" and "privilege" with inclusive concepts such as "economic freedom" and "responsibility," while urging leaders to abandon negative social media tactics in favor of future-oriented, collaborative messaging. The session concludes with a recognition that the next generation seeks shared prosperity over binary ideological battles, warning that failure to adopt these de-escalation strategies risks permanently delegitimizing political opposition.

    #Metoo: how it's changing the world

    Jacob Zuma, Gigi White, Noah, Jordan Peterson, Sheryl Sandberg, Morgan Mercer, Avela Faye, Sean, James, David Fuller

    Since its global explosion in October 2017, the #MeToo movement has driven legal reforms and the resignation of powerful figures while simultaneously exposing systemic failures, such as South Africa's high femicide rate and low rape arrest statistics, as well as Western workplace tensions where male hesitation to mentor women has increased. To address these deep-rooted issues, initiatives like the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund have provided millions in support for victims, while innovative interventions including virtual reality training and male emotional intelligence workshops aim to bridge the growing empathy gap between genders. Despite a backlash characterized by male anxiety over undefined social boundaries, the movement continues to redefine sexual harassment discourse by shifting focus from isolated incidents to broader societal power dynamics and structural inequality.

    Workshop: Designing a More Meaningful Life

    Kathleen deLaski, Mally, Enrique, James, Ronnie, Cindy, Jill, Lieutenant Megan Wilkins

    Hosted by the Center for Strategic Philanthropy at the Milken Conference, this workshop introduced a four-stage design thinking framework to help philanthropists navigate complex global challenges through empathy, invention, and rapid iteration. Participants applied the methodology in an interactive sprint to answer "How might I design a more meaningful life?" by engaging in structured interviews, assessing personal assets, and prototyping low-fidelity solutions. The session concluded with a case study of the facilitator's pivot from journalism to education innovation, emphasizing that democratic, iterative processes are essential for disrupting traditional hierarchies in sectors like academia and the military.

    Shriram Krishnamurthi: Curriculum Design as an Engineering Problem: Lessons from the Field

    Shriram Krishnamurthi, Emmanuel Schanzer, Kathi Fisler, Laurie, Askle, James, Shetha, Eric Alata, Kathy, Dharan, Kenny, Yaron, Alice O'Neill, Papert

    Bootstrap addresses critical equity and rigor gaps in computer science education by embedding computing concepts directly into mandatory Algebra, Data Science, and Physics curricula rather than relying on scarce specialized teachers or elective courses. This systems-engineering approach utilizes functional programming and a structured "Design Recipe" to scaffold mathematical thinking for all students, successfully mitigating the barriers of after-school programs and traditional silos. Facing scaling challenges due to limited administrative staff and bureaucratic resistance, the organization now prioritizes teacher professional development and is developing middle school modules like Bootstrap Junior to extend this integrated framework to earlier grades.
