Main Library
Meeting RoomWhat Success Looks Like for the Next Generation—and Why It’s Changing
What will it take for today’s children to thrive in a world increasingly shaped by AI? Carnegie Mellon University professor and longtime USA International Mathematical Olympiad coach Po-Shen Loh explores how the meaning of success is changing—and why qualities such as curiosity, creativity, independent thinking, collaboration, and empathy may matter more than ever.
This thought-provoking session will offer parents, educators, and students practical perspectives on preparing young people for a rapidly changing future.
You’ll learn:
Why the future of education is about much more than academic performance, how AI is reshaping the skills that universities, employers, and society increasingly value, and what parents and educators can do to cultivate curiosity, creativity, independent thinking, and a lifelong love of learning.
You'll also explore why collaboration, empathy, and the ability to contribute to others are becoming more important than ever, along with practical strategies you can begin applying immediately.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Parents, educators, students, and community members interested in the future of education, AI, careers, and how to help the next generation thrive.
