Golden Apple introduces with its partners Chicago Shakespeare Theater and National-Louis University a forthcoming series presenting futurist voices into the dialogue on improving the educational experience for school children.

This partnership will present a free two-part symposium that brings together leading futurists in education for conversation to address what school in the future must look like to prepare students for rapid advances in technology, globalization, and economy. The moderator for this series will be WBEZ’s Allison Cuddy. The sessions will be held on Monday, March 18 and Tuesday, May 21, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre on Navy Pier. The first symposium will feature noted Arizona State Professor Dr. James Paul Gee, and Stephanie Pace Marshall, President Emerita of the Illinois Math and Science Academy.
