The Problem-Solving Generation: Why we must teach students to solve big problems
“Don’t ask kids what they want to be when they grow up but what problems they want to solve. This changes the conversation from who do I want to work for to what do I need to learn to be able to do that.”
– Jaime Casap, former Education Evangelist, Google

Jaime will explore digitization and why the “future is human.” He will explore the impact of technology and why “human” skills are what our children need to become our future leaders.
“We are preparing students to solve local and global problems we haven’t defined yet, using technology that hasn’t been invented, in roles that do not exist,” said Casap, “To thrive in this new era, students need to know how to learn, problem solve, iterate, create, collaborate, communicate, and to think critically.”
Jaime Casap, a Montessori parent, served as the Education Evangelist at Google for 15 years. In that time, Casap launched Google’s GSuite tools and Chromebooks into higher education and K12. Currently, Jaime collaborates with school systems, educational organizations, and leaders focused on building innovation and iteration into our education policies. He speaks on education, technology, innovation and Generation Z at events around the world.
