Spinoffs in the Air!
Thanks, Southwest Air, for providing relevant, diverse topics in your magazine that lead to spinoffs of their own! Next time you are flying Southwest, be sure to embrace the #JOMO and flip through the magazine, enjoy the excitement and the wonder of the view below, and allow for possibilities you had never imagined!
The Future of Work & Education
No one has a monopoly on the future of education. It is a shared responsibility.
The Evolution of the Bicycle
The Martians in our classrooms are already experiencing mobility in a way that is conceptually different than other generations: mobility sharing. We have ride sharing, bike sharing… and even more mobility sharing modes in the years to come.
Missions for the Martian Classroom
Creativity and play are common themes in innovation and can help solve big problems. Give students agency in demonstrating mastery of content in fun and creative ways using a menu of options such as this:

We have come along way in technological advances and space travel, but in order to lead the way in future missions, we have to think bigger in education as well.
The Martian Classroom isn't just about space, it's a metaphor for the future of education and where we need to drive the learning space of the future by equipping students to thrive both on and off of planet Earth.
Educators influence the future. The Martians in our classrooms are that future and will pave the way for humanity. What an awesome responsibility we have and they have!
We are just getting started. Let's propel the change rather than waiting for the change to propel us.
Tackling Significant Challenges
Our education system is tied closely to industry; first to agriculture, then to manufacturing, now to technology. In the future, we will continue to build on this technology as we explore Space. We have hardly scraped the surface in keeping up with accelerating technologies. Dell Technologies predicts that 85% of the jobs in 2030 haven't been created yet. What steps do we need to make in order to ensure that our students are prepared for unknown jobs, on and off of our planet?
Technology Bonanza
Not only did these inventions quickly find their way into the lives of Americans, but many of them also produced abundant tax returns for the government itself. The plan catalyzed consumer industries and sent the U.S. economy soaring to unprecedented levels.
Globalized Learning Spaces
The Martian Classroom isn’t just about Space, it’s also a metaphor for the future of education and where we need to drive the learning space for this future. To start, we need to loosen the ties between education and geography, and this needs to happen now. Expanding the classroom to collaborate with classes on the other side of the globe will prepare students for a world that connects work to global talent.
