    Playing Games with Our Children's Education

    Gary Weisserman, Nolan Bushnell, Mizuko Ito, Jeff Kupperman, Mimi Ito, Jane McGonigal, John Holly

    Experts argue that the traditional classroom's batch-processing model hinders learning by failing to match the neurological engagement of gaming, which activates key brain regions like the hippocampus and caudate. Proponents advocate for "play-to-mastery" systems using tools like Minecraft and VR to enforce full skill acquisition and provide stealth assessments, while also highlighting the need to bridge digital infrastructure gaps and address exclusionary design in the game development industry. Ultimately, the shift toward personalized, game-mediated education aims to reframe learning as an active practice culture that fosters creativity and cognitive longevity across all ages.

    Inventing the Impossible

    Nolan Bushnell, Pablos Holman, Salim Ismail, Marco Tempest, Ken Rutkowski

    Hosted by Ken Rakowski, a diverse panel of experts including Salim Ismail, Nolan Bushnell, Pablo, and Marco Tempest explored strategies for "inventing the impossible" by leveraging exponential trends in energy, education, and connectivity. The discussion highlighted specific innovations such as nuclear waste recycling, immersive virtual learning, and magic-based technology prototyping to solve global challenges ranging from food security to vaccine distribution. Participants concluded that overcoming current market and regulatory constraints requires shifting from linear planning to open-source collaboration that internalizes Moore's Law and prioritizes creative problem-solving over rote knowledge.
