Keynote: Rewiring How We Learn: The Power of an Experimental Mindset | SXSW EDU 2025

Image
Join Anne-Laure Le Cunff & Vanessa Van Edwards.  In a rapidly evolving world, our educational practices—both teaching and learning—often trigger anxiety: are we studying the right things, in the right way?  Based on the latest scientific research, this session explores strategies to turn uncertainty into curiosity, working with—rather than against—our brain’s natural learning mechanisms.  You'll discover how to leverage neuroscience to transform the way we teach and learn, gain practical tools for developing an experimental mindset that benefits all brains, and walk away with actionable insights to enhance both your teaching practice and your own lifelong learning journey.  With these insights, we can foster collective experimentation and create vibrant learning spaces where failure fuels growth, curiosity drives discovery, and every student feels empowered to approach new challenges with confidence.

Is Our Government Innovating and Leading? Or Following and Reacting?

by James Riley  via INNOVATION Australia (James is an old school reporter who actually dives deep and seeks deep, NOTHING art eee fish all...at all)  And Andrew Charlton, who is quoted often in the below article, is a Polly (NOT a cracker...) who KNOWS his DLT stuff, has lived HIS economic stuff and is extremely WELL versed, qualified and EXPERIENCED in DIGITAL INNOVATION that is there already here right now, for HUMAN learning to be further UNLOCKED. The bigger picture for our kids being born NOW (and those "kids" up to age 25, now) is that all this "DIGITAL ECONOMY/DLT/AI" right NOW, is where enormous LEARNING opportunity is already GLOBAL. Australia CANNOT afford to dilly dally for our KIDS sake, not us oldies over the age of 30... and set in their routine tertiary certified coin for life ways...  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The Prime Minister’s special envoy for cybersecurity and digital resilience Andrew Ch...

Most Reliable Voices Are The Ones Most Invested In Learning

Avoid people who often confuse your free time with your availability. Family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances included. You will feel anxious and stressed when you don't put yourself first to disappoint those who expect you to put yourself last and do what's best for them. Only your own unwavering self worth  is worth your investment. The false teacher persuades you to follow, to imitate, to be just a carbon copy. The real mastery of self will not allow you to be a carbon copy, it will not allow you to follow or create someone else's dream.  YOU must want to be YOUR own original. Go on I dare YOU! Learn, Be reliable, Learn new skills, stop complaining, Learn to get out of your own attached THINKING head and Be 100% committed to creating YOUR best life. Learn, reliable for life, level up as life, self worth unwavering is life right now, No holding back.  The strongest signal of credibility is not how much people know. It's how much they care about accuracy. Trustw...

Learning How To Learn.

"Let me break this down for you, because what we're seeing with Trump's crypto deregulation plan isn't just another policy shift – it's the beginning of an economic renaissance. And believe me, I've seen enough technological revolutions to know one when I see it. Look at what's happening: The incoming administration isn't just tweaking a few rules – they're completely reimagining how we handle digital assets. According to the news, they're planning to dismantle SAB 121, streamline federal oversight, and bring in Paul Atkins to chair the SEC. This is exactly what the industry has been waiting for. But here's the bigger picture that most people are missing:  Throughout history, every single time a society has tried to strangle technological innovation, they've signed their own death warrant. Rome did it. Ethiopia did it. Russia's doing it right now, and the EU is making the same mistake with their MiCA regulations. They're all fol...
