The Future of Education through the Lens of Big Picture Learning

Join us for an inspiring online conversation about the future of education through the lens of Big Picture Learning—a global movement that has long shown what becomes possible when young people, not exams, sit at the center of learning.

This session is for educators, researchers, and changemakers who want to imagine something more human, joyful, and responsive to the world young people are entering. The conversation will be led by Professor Scott Boldt, co-author with Big Picture Learning founder Elliot Washor of Learning to Leave: How Real-World Learning Transforms Education.

Women Build Planes! (Virtual)

Hello WOMEN BUILD PLANES Team and friends!

We decided it's just going to be TOO COLD to do this build this weekend...😩😩😩

But don't despair 😁😁😁  We are still going to get together -- and we have some special guests (YES DOYLE and BETA gals 🤞🤞🤞) for an awesomely fab Lunch & Learn!

Lunch & Learn Topic: ⚡️ Electric 🔋 aviation and the creative ways BETA Technologies figured out how to build their own electric motors.

We hope to see MANY friendly faces -- and maybe some of our builders who are away from Vermont at the moment (like you college gals and working gals--we wanna see you!).

Beth White is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting - Sunday, 2/8/2026 at 13:00

Topic: BETA Technologies Electric Motors
