I interview Daniel Rabuzzi, until recently Executive Director of the youth development nonprofit Mouse, who argues that how children are taught in schools has to change significantly to meet the needs of the 21st century, and discusses where new models of learning, such as Maker Education, can make a difference.

 

Mouse is a national youth development nonprofit that believes in technology as a force for good. It empowers youths and educators to engage with computer science and creative technology to solve real problems and make meaningful change in our world. It designs computer science and STEM curriculum on its online learning platform, trains K-12 educators, and engages students through the Design League and maker events.
