About TEDxWinchesterTeachers
The theme for this event is ‘The Beginning of Infinity: Education and the Future’
New advances and cutting-edge discoveries in the fields of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, genetics, quantum computing, nanotechnology, and cosmology are dramatically changing how we perceive the world. If we wish to prepare students for a radically different future, the traditional methods of education cannot continue. Speakers at this event are encouraged to talk about the changes in the educational system that need to take place that will encourage innovation, creativity, compassion, curiosity, risk-taking, and a love for learning.
